To me, this song is about how your parents try to protect you as much as they can from the negative aspects of the world. You look to them to be inspired, to learn how to act and behave; and as you get older, you remember how much they've done for you and how much you admire them and all you want to do is make them proud of you.
But also as you get older, it's inevitable that the world becomes a less sheltered place. Your parents can't protect you from everything, and even sometimes, they can't protect themselves from things that might happen. As they get older, they become weaker, which is why josh in his lyrics, states he wants to fight their battles too.
It's almost as you get older, there's a role reversal, you become the one who tries to protect them. I really do like this song and I think it's very easy to relate to.
