To me this song is very personal. It resembles a man who has made promises to himself for instance goals for making his life better but he fails time after time to fulfill them resorting back to his old ways. But then he may finally come true to his goals and someone notices where he may have not and makes a nice remark reinstalling the confidence he once had in himself. Or he may not have fulfilled these goals but someone recognises the potential that he has in himself reminding him that he is capable of making his life better.
