This song is a song for his younger sister, whose father abandoned her when she was little, leaving him to take over the role of a father figure in her life. He talks about her growing up and his experience of “parenting” her.
[Verse 1]
I remember when you were all mine
Watched you changing in front of my eyes
What can I say
Now that I'm not the fire in the cold
Now that I'm not the hand that you hold
As you're walking away
[Chorus]
Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I'll worry about you the whole night
Don't repeat my mistakes
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside
If you're home I just hope that you're sober
Is it time to let go now you're older
Don't leave me this way
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside
[Verse 2]
Everyone has to find their own way
And I'm sure things will work out okay
I wish that was the truth
All we know is the sun will rise
Thank your lucky stars that you're alive
It's a beautiful life
[Chorus]
Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I'll worry about you the whole night
Don't repeat my mistakes
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside
If you're home I just hope that you're sober
Is it time to let go now you're older
Don't leave me this way
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside
[Bridge]
If you make the same mistakes
I will love you in either way
All I know is that I can't live without you
There is nothing I can say
That will change you in any way
Darling, I could never live without you
I can't live, I can't live
[Chorus]
Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I'll worry about you the whole night
Don't make my mistakes
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
If you're home I just hope that you're sober
Is it time to let go now you're older
Don't leave me this way
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside
[Outro]
Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I worry about you

It’s super personal. I have four sisters and a brother, who I haven’t really spent a lot of time with. My brother is from my dad’s first marriage, and my dad’s been married four times. Player. But you know, of course I still love him. But my four sisters, I’ve been around my whole life, and they are...
