It sounds like he's addressing a girl (Hannah Jane, perhaps?) and he's fallen in love with her. But he didn't before. Before they were just friends who hung out and had a good time ("We'd get drunk and go out after dark, Searching for someone that we could take home"). But he misses the things they used to do and now she's got children ("You've got your big girl, Now you've got your young one too") but he wants her as more than a friend and he wants to be the father of her children ("Wonder if some day I can have them, the way I once had you").
The chorus, though, seems to be like he's talking to himself. Saying, basically, "Take her. You don't want to be alone anymore and if you don't do it soon, sombody else will".
Then in the last verse, he's addressing her again. Finally owning up the courage to tell her how he feels. He tells her that he'll always be there for her and that she should "take his hand".
