wow..no one commented about what they think this song is about. well here goes:
i think its about a single parent "now my lover's gone, im lost and alone" who is raising the children. so the parent is telling the child that they're here for them. but as the child grows older, theres no way to make the child stay so the parent is just accepting that fact and won't think about it until the child actually moves out and no longer needs the parent, leaving the parent without a lover or a child to take care of. thats my first impression anyway.
