Well, I heard this song was written after both his parents had died and he felt completely alone. So often we just assume they will always be around; but that's not reality. I understand it because having lost a parent; you do feel this huge hole. And sometimes, just seeing your friends around their parents etc makes you feel the loss so much more. One time while making a short trip with a friend, we caught some bad weather. Upon arriving safely the relief shown across her mother's face. In that instant, I felt so sad because I knew I'd never be able to have that relief of seeing my own mom again.
I know the feeling. But, not to ruin it for you, this isn't his personal story. As he says, "You don't have to experience something to write about it, only understand it".
