This song is so beautiful. Luke's voice and lyrics always sound poetic. I agree that it's about losing their fathers. Maybe 'breaking down the corners of the world' is just getting on and exploring their lives without their fathers to guide them - testing their limits by themselves?
I would guess the 'see your mother' line is about their father's seeing their own mothers in heaven (or whatever is up there). I love that bit. When I listen to the song I still imagine it's about a girl because it feels romantic, and I always like the closeness of asking someone how their mother is.
The last verse is just the best though, especially the changing the lyrics right at the end.
