“Daddy Always” is about a piece of Darwin’s childhood. He always counted on his dad to be there for him when his mom wasn’t. When Darwin’s dad does something that deeply upsets his mom (presumably cheating on her with another woman), he is told to leave. He takes Darwin with him to the marina where...
[Verse 1]
Whenever soft footfalls come bounding
When I think I'm alone
And daddy's hair looks must and counting
On you, you know
[Chorus]
Daddy always comes home on time
And he always hugs me goodnight
Daddy always comes home to me
And he always comes home
[Verse 2]
Fake fireplace knows I am commonplace
I can't deface mommy's ace
She knows I'm a liar
Just credit cards and debtors are in all of us
In God we trust
Ash to ash
And bicycles to rust
Bikes to rust
[Chorus]
Daddy always comes home on time
And he always hugs me goodnight
Daddy always comes home to me
And he always comes home
[Verse 3]
Tie shoes tightly, I'm gonna run
When mommy finds out what daddy's done
Marina is full of characters, stay close
Hold daddy's hand, there's daddy's boat
Oh she'll never love him
She's miles above him
He wears too many bowties
No I wasn't bluffing
See the sails are luffing
Pull the halyard til the boat flys
Set fire to that photo
I never should have told
Old liars can't relax
Hear the waves lap gently
Foggy bay is empty
Ah we won't be coming back
We won't be coming back
