Thom said, the first time he played this song, that he wrote it whilst on holiday for his daughter. Therefore, it is my take that the song is more about a parent's struggle to come to terms with the fact that a child must grow to develop fully.

Thom has written two songs clearly about Noah: Sail you to the Moon, and Fog. So my theory is quite plausible.
