I think the lyrics are about a dog and its owner talking to each other. Hear me out. The dog is passing away and both the owner and the dog are comforting each other.
The first three verses are told from the perspective of the owner:
"Someday
A white light
Will come for you
To comfort you
(Owner is telling his/her doggo that the "white light" i.e. death, is coming to "comfort" him/her)
Well I'll put
My shades on
To shield my eyes
Yeah, that's what ill do
And I'll face the light with you"
(Even though the owner can't bear to see it (shield their eyes with shades), the owner will face the light together with his/her best friend and comfort the dog to the end.
***The rest of the song is mostly told from the dog's perspective.
"Someday, you'll get, older
I'll be right behind you
New days, hard to, shoulder
I'll be right behind you
(In the Chorus, the dog is telling its owner that even though you'll get older, I'll still be there for you in spirit. Even on tough days, I'm with you.)
Dog: Wait for me, ohh,
cause I'll be right behind you
Owner: Wait, and see, ohh,
you know that I will find you
(In the second chorus, the dog telling the owner that he/she will have to wait a bit longer before they see each other again, so "wait for me". The owner then tells the dog, "when I get older and pass away you'll be the first thing I find up there in heaven."
Someday
You may
Forget me
Well that's okay with me
(The dog says that even as time goes on and you forget me in the daily hustle and bustle of your life, that's okay, because we're best friends and I understand.)
Yeah, that's ok
I'll see that you may
Cry a tear for me
Cry two or three
And you'll face the light with me
("I'll see you that may", may refer to the dog coming back every year in May (possibly the month the dog died) because the owner will remember the anniversary of its death and the dog knows the owner will cry two or three tears for it. Then the last line is the opposite of the owner's line earlier that says "and I'll face the light with you", its the dog telling the owner I know you'll stay with me here at the end and comfort me.
[Chorus]
You had
That feeling
For a while now
For a while now
You had
Been feeling
For a while now
Let it slide now
(This is the dog telling the owner that he/she acknowledges the owner's emotional struggle while the dog has been deteriorating, unable to accept his best friend's inevitable death. Then the dog tells the owner "I'm leaving now, let it slide [let those feelings go, my times up but it'll be alright]" )
