Agreed with @casey10155 . Its probably about parents or some kind of guardian-especially given the video (which you should all watch btw)
"I left behind the home that you made me" seems to be a clear reference to your parents building a home around you, the child. "I'll give them shelter like you've done for me" is likely the singer talking about their own children, and how they want to pass on the lessons to their own children, and nurture them. "You'll be watching over us until you're gone" always breaks my heart a bit, but its YOU'RE gone, which suggests they are going first-likely because your parents will generally pass before you. But until then, as grandparents, they can watch over you and give advice until that time.
"When i'm older i'll be silent beside you"-for both to be silent suggests its a time when both of them have died. "But they will carry on for us" further supports this idea, as they are saying our kids will carry on living, will carry on life for us.
And as i said before it links in with the video-a woman protected from an impending apocalypse from her father.
