When You Come Back Down Lyrics

For me, this song is about letting someone go. When you really care about someone and you love them enough you want to put their dreams ahead of your own selfishness. When you love someone enough you will realize what they want and let them go.

"I'll still be there When you come back down"

No matter what happens they'll still be waiting for their return and will take them back no matter what. Doesn't this sound like a parent and their child?
