I've been on a bit of a Lifehouse kick lately. I like the mellow rock sound that they have, but I also think the lyrics are fantastic (at least most of the time).
When I listen to this song, I hear somebody struggling with something that life has thrown at him. Apparently, one of the band members wrote this song for a girl that he had been friends with for a long time and who had just gotten out of a serious relationship. I think one of the great things about music is that it can speak to us in different ways depending on where we are in life. It's a great song. The clip below is from their Unplugged set on VH1 in October 2007.
I cant be losing sleep over this, no I cant
And now I can not stop pacing
Give me a few hours, Ill have all this sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
Cause I cannot stand still
I cant be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
This is over my head but underneath my feet
Cuz by tomorrow morning Ill have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy
Cuz Im waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And Im somewhere in between
What is real, and just a dream
What is real, and just a dream
What is real, and just a dream
Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
Dont be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again
I dont want to run away from this
I know that I just dont need this
Cause I cannot stand still
I cant be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening
Cuz Im waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And Im somewhere in between
What is real, and just a dream
What is real, and just a dream
What is real, and just a dream
