I can't meet
Losing sleep over this
No I can't
And now I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours
I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing

Cause I cannot stand still
I can be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening

This is over my head
But underneath my feet
Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Been waiting for tomorrow
I'm somewhere in between
What is real, just a dream [Repeat: x2]

Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know that I just don't need this

Cause I cannot stand still
I can be this unsturdy
This cannot be happening

[Chorus]
Cause I'm waiting for tonight
Been waiting for tomorrow
And I'm somewhere in between
What is real, Just a dream [Repeat: x3]

    Song Meaning:Jason has stated several times that he wrote this way back in his teen years about his relationship with Braeden. He said he played it for her and won her heart. He has also spoken several times about how he and Braeden went through a rough patch and broke up briefly before getting engaged. I think this is where the title comes from. It's about Jason being in two places and having to make a decision about whether to continue with the relationship or not.

    General Comment:To me he is talking about a love gone bad. He can't beleive he let himself fall in love. Usually he snaps right back, he is normally so in control of his life and his emotions. But its not snapping back this time, he is in a funk and he doesn't understand. Just give me a few hours and he will sort this out...yeah right! lol. He can take a lifetime and still may never figure it out. I had just broken up with someone when this song came out and I, like the singer, usually am always in control, but I wasn't anymore. I couldn't beleive that I couldn't just snap back. I was waiting for tomorrow, hoping it would be me some peace, someway for me to be ok with what I had lost. That's what he is saying, he is waiting for tomorrow, in hopes it will help him get "back to normal".

    Memory:For me, this song is basically about dealing with a problem. It could be any type of problem.

    Personally, whenever I think of this song, I think of my previous relationship. I remember saying to myself 5 months ago that I will get over him and even today, I have not managed to do it. I am still halfway in and halfway out. I am still unsure and uncertain about whether letting go would be the right decision though, I should move on, considering the fact that he really does not care a bit about me anymore. He has moved on just fine and is enjoying life while I am dealing with sleepless nights. Everytime when someone mentions his name or I hear a song which reminds me of him, I just go blank for sometime and his face suddenly appears out of nowhere in my mind. Its quite irritating how something inconsequential could renew my memories of him and I just stand there dazed, trying to regain my composure. Sometimes, usually at nights, when I go to bed, I have sufficient time to introspect on life and my train of thought always reaches our time together. In my mind, I go through everything once more and its quite agonizing and pleasing at the same time. Sometimes, the sadness crashes down on me with such a might that I can't do anything but just cry. The crying has gradually ceased somewhat but I still find myself thinking of him. I really do not think the love I feel for him has diminished over time. If anything, it has increased day by day upto an excruciating degree. I am just so tired and exhausted of walking on ashes and running after something which was lost long ago. Every night, I pacify myself by repeating over and over that I will heal and am still healing. Then, when I retrospect, I find that NOTHING has changed. Its like he has an irrevocable influence over me, which I thoroughly detest. This song captures my pain beautifully. I truly do not think I could heal completely or cease loving him. It might dull with the passage of time but it won't vanish, sadly.

    General Comment:there is no single meaning to a song, who knows the song writer may have one intention for it and people who hear it can have their own. you have to put it in your perspectives, your situation.

    "Cause I'm waiting for tonight
    Been waiting for tomoroow
    I'm somewhere in between
    What is real
    Just a dream"

    to me "somewhere in between" means are you gonna keep fighting and try to get the best out of whats going on, or are you gonna try and let it go and just run away from your problems.

    This song has a lot of meaning to it, when i'm down i'll give it a listen

    My Interpretation:I think this is about love and how easily a penis can fall off. The harmony of penis and adonis is absolutely amazing.

    General Comment:This song has a very heart felt meaning to me. being a senior in high school is tough enough as it is, i am also attending high school classes as a culinary student. the reason it is so hard is because i have to prove my self to EVERYONE. including my father. both my parents are against this idea. for once i wanted to make them proud of me. so i applied to the top school in the country. i applied and was accepted to the culinary institute of america. this was the only time ive seen my parents so proud of me in my life. so thank you lifehouse, for making my dreams come true.

    General Comment:Love this song... I can relate to it... Its so hard to accept the fact when a relationship comes to an end... So true, you wish it is all a dream that when you wake up its all over but then again its not...
    REALITY BITES!!!
    But if you go into the detail of the song, at first I thought its for broken hearted but then(coz I am into it and everthing I see is like that "BROKEN" ahihihi), please do correct me if I am wrong, It's about one feeling that is coming out..."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 don't want to run away from this I know that I just don't need this" it is like you are not certain about your feelings; you love her yet not quite sure if thats what you really feel... YOUR REALITY IS JUST A DREAM...

    General Comment:This song sounds like the end of a movie; The sky is clearing from the storm and everything has finally worked out.

    General Comment:The lead singer said live in concert that he wrote this song at the age of 17 for a friend of his he fell hard for. After he confessed to her that he liked her a lot as more than a friend she replied that she liked him a lot too...as just a friend. He wrote this song for her and played it, and needless to say she just fell head over heels with it because how could you not? This song is beautiful

    General Comment:Hockeygurlie you hit it dead on..to me anyways.
    i have recently broken up with a girl that i was with forr a long long time,and it was horrible, almost not worth the relationship itself. now, i am falling for a girl, and i am truley scared, for the first time in my life, my feelings are scaring the hell out of me. i pace, i cant sleep, and im just so happy with her. and as much as im scared of another love, i dont want to run away from this.

    great song
