the song is basically choosing to stay in the other person's life even after the relationship. not because you're hoping to get back together but simply because there's that genuine care for that person that you wouldn't want anything to happen to her that would hurt her.

'im on your back' and 'i'm walking after you' are basically lines that say

I agree - when you love someone and you only want the best for them - and maybe you wish you had tried a little harder in the end you know you are always going to be there for them. Always.
