I've always thought this song was about Jon (its on the Comfort in Sound album which was the first album Feeder released after Jon's death), though this has been denied by Grant (not directly).
Anyway, I think this song is about recovery. You think you can't get over something, it gets you in your sleep and your dreams, it breaks your life, and the only way to get over it is close your eyes, look inside yourself and bring back the happiness of the child within you. This is my personal feeling on this one :)
@Burkey just listen to Grant in this video:

at 27 min. talking about how 'Child In You' is the only song on the album he clearly remembers writing with 'Jon on his shoulder'
