The First verse describes someone meeting someone they parted with when they were young after a time whome they still love and feel sorry for and that they know that this position could of become someone if they were not at 'war' with themselves.

The pre-chorus Is: The Writer telling this someone that they want them to be happy, have fun and make friends and also expresses to this someone that they might be a in a little bit of a dappy state of mind

The chorus ahhhh this... is shouting out me that this person is depressed because of their mothers death (maybe) or that this hole songs protagonist is the mother of the ones who is depressed (or that this somes dad is the protagonist) either useing the someone's mother as a image of comfort or suggesting for the person to think about her in life or death "Feel your mother at your side" either literally or metaphysically
"Don't you know you go my eyes" If from a parent then either his alive mom or the widowed dad. (hereditary eyes) (could be a close relative) If not then this unknown protagonist is either telling this someone that they are looking out for them (looking eyes) The rest of the chorus is the Protagonist telling the depressed someone (or relative) that they know that they can get better and are willing to help

sSde Note (later you see the last repetition of the chorus come back to the first verse one last time with "i'll make you" maybe implying that the protagonist is going to go for this hard. Then also the last repetition of the first verse doesn't end with dappy maybe implying that he is has either made him not dappy or that he is going to make him something else. The boy is now a (blank canvas)
