This song is about the destructive nature of alcoholism. The singer pleads with his daughter to stop drinking, but she doesn’t, and she ends up killing someone while drunk. Alcoholism is a frequent songwriting subject for David Bazan. See also on this album “Bless This Mess,” as well as “The Poison”...
[Verse 1]
When I woke up the next morning
You looked right through me
Through your eyes crying
I could finally see
[Chorus 1]
They said please baby, please, baby please
They said please baby, please
They said please baby, please, baby please
They said please baby, please
[Verse 2]
When I called you from Atlanta
You refused to speak
Now three days sober
Begging for a drink
[Chorus 2]
I said please baby, please, baby please
I said please baby, please
I said please baby, please, baby please
I said please baby, please
[Bridge]
Those two pairs of big blue eyes
Stare me down, watch me fall
What makes a man realize
When he's about to lose it all
[Verse 3]
Sunrise at the county lock-up
Now our baby's 23
She was out late drinking
Killed a mother of three
[Chorus 3]
She said please daddy, please, daddy please
She said please daddy, please
She said please daddy, please, daddy please
She said please daddy, please
Please
