At first listen, I considered it about two lovers, but MuadDib made a very good observation by considering the father-son relationship and explained it well.
To me, it reminds me of relationships that failed and one lover looking back and wondering what could've been (as shown by the description of the home and picket fence, etc, which they could have lived in). The "remember me, I remember you walking away" line shows that he is not over it and there is still remaining bitterness or sadness from the second party walking out on them. He doesn't have complete freedom because he is binded by this person (as shown in the freedom line), which again emphasizes the line that tells that he remembers the other person walking out.
Very heart-wrenching emotional song that reminds me of failed relationships, whether it be between family, friends, or lovers. Great song.
