First off, beautiful song. [:
The song is talking about the urge to grow up so fast, only to look back as an old man and be overwhelmed by all of the memories. It's about trying to communicate to the young to slow down because of what lies ahead.
The video is just the song played out, with the dog symbolizing the young, and the old man being...the old man.
