It could be a song about someone's daughter. I don't think that Britt Daniel has a child, but he admits that not all of his songs are autobiographical.
The relationship described by the song, with her offering idealism and him offering strength, seems to mirror that between a father and daughter.
Plus the last line takes on a literal AND figurative meaning.
This song is actually a cover of a mid-nighties Texas band called The Sidehackers. So in no way is this a personal story of Britt's, however it must have tugged on his heart strings enough to create this slick cover. Note: The songwriter of The Sidehackers, John Clayton, appears on Kill the Moonlight, contributing bass to the album.
