I believe it's about the death of the mother. She needs a rest as their father wears his Sunday best. The Daughter sighs in her sleep (crying) and the brother has a date he must keep (Doesn't want to be seen crying.) Most reason to believe this is in the song it says The mother is the one they will miss in lots of ways.

This is a song about growing up in a big family, it's about your house which is a little crazy but also the only sane corner of the planet at times. It's also about getting away from it eventually, leaving the family home to get on with your life.
