For me it is like a father talking to a shy child going to school for the first time. I wouldn't say the singer is afraid of letting go, but it's more like the person he's talking to is afraid to go somewhere full of shadows and sharks. It seems like the singer is trying to help the other person learn to be independent. The "shadows," or other people, might seem scary but they're "not as bad as they appear." Maybe the "questions" are actually test questions in class?
I tried looking up if these guys have kids but couldn't find anything.
