Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone, what can you do?
You and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
You know there will be days
When you're so tired
That you can't take another step
The night will have no stars
And you'll think you've gone as far
As you will ever get
well you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be
If you ever turn around, you'll see me
I can't really say
Why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end the only steps that matter
Are the ones you take all by yourself
And you and me walk on
yeah, you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
walk on, walk on, walk on
you can't go back now.
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone, what can you do?
You and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
You know there will be days
When you're so tired
That you can't take another step
The night will have no stars
And you'll think you've gone as far
As you will ever get
well you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be
If you ever turn around, you'll see me
I can't really say
Why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end the only steps that matter
Are the ones you take all by yourself
And you and me walk on
yeah, you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
walk on, walk on, walk on
you can't go back now.

This song is a reflection of their new addition to their family. They are summarizing life in a song for their child; letting the child know they will always be there one step behind.
That's perfect. It doesn't work if he's singing it to her. It must be a child because of the lines "But in the end the only steps that matter Are the ones you take all by yourself". I always imagine my dad singing this to me.
