Somewhere In Between

I think this song is pretty simple to understand. I know I feel the way he does. Sometimes you just wish everything would work out, that you'd find the answer in a night...but in reality it could take a lifetime. And sometimes we wish that what is real...would be a dream..because we can wake up from dreams...but you can't wake up from reality.

.. someone very special to me told me that this song detailed the pain of getting over someone. I don't know how she saw that, but if someone can elaborate, please tell me.. because it was the last straw for her in a very delicate relationship that ultimately collapsed..

To me, though, the song is about love. About a love so strong that you can't believe that you're "losing sleep over this." You pace, pace out of a fear that she's hurt (odd circumstances that week), and pace out of disbelief of yourself. That this love can't be this strong. Just give me a few hours, and maybe I can sort this out..

"'cause I'm waiting for tonight. Been waiting for tomorrow." You've been waiting forever, and to find it now? Is this real, or just a dream.. ?

Sara, I'm sorry that I hurt you..

to me this song is about a love that has fallen apart. He simply cannot believe that its over. Thinking maybe he can figure it out, but he begins to realize that he can't. As the song goes on he is starting to believe that this is happening, and he begins to pray that hes just dreaming and he can wake up from it and embrace his love again. Similiary if you've ever seen the video for hemmorage by fuel its like that. Well at least thats what i think this song is about.

...this song has very special meaning to me. I think it's about a broken love. A relationship that was once so perfect, but is so broken now, he can't believe it. it's about the pain of love, the way when you're with somebody for so long, and things suddenly end, you eventually break down. they're all you think about, you lose sleep trying to figure out a way to work it out, and when you realize that it can't be worked out, you wish it were a dream. You try to tell your self that you don't need to worry about it, it's done, and you wish with all your heart, that things could go back to the way they used to be, before they came into your life, but it's not that easy.... that's what i think the song is about.

I agree with the majority of posts...I strongly believe this song is about the downfall of a relationship. It describes perfectly how I felt the night my boyfriend (whom I loved very much) broke up with me. It's a song about pure disbelief and finally realizing that it's over...and having no clue when things will get better again...

Or if they ever will...

yeh i can see why everyone thinks it's about love... but some parts of this song, make me think so bad about how i feel a lot of the time - about having problems that you can't find the answers to, add just wish that you could go back to feeling the way you did - go back to being happy... but thats just my own personal meaning

This song may be about love, but it's about love of God and/or Jesus. Lifehouse is a christian band and their songs are about God and Jesus. Although, I have related it to a love in my life. It was just in a dream that I had about a girl that I have liked for about 2 years now. In the recent months past, I have actually grown to love her, I think so anyway. Well, the dream was just that she and I were dancing close together and slow in a very dimly lit room and this song (Somewhere In Between) was playing. It was very cool. It's like, I wish this were real, but it's just a dream ("What is real, just a dream."). Thanks.

I read in an interview with the guy from Lifehouse that he wrote this for his friend's girlfriend who he liked, and thought he'd treat her better and everything. When he played it for her, they started going out. They're married now.

Before my girlfriend and I got together, she had broken up with this guy. I'd been head-over-heels for her for years even though she was dating him. So they broke up, and I was like, "Man, if I don't make a move now, I may never get a chance." I was always friends with her but never really could get a step further. So I started taking her out to dinners and stuff. She was a little bit on the rebound, but I think she had some feelings for me. We were at that point where we weren't sure if we were dating or not, or even if she really liked me in that way. It was a very vulnerable time for me and that's when I wrote "Somewhere In Between." I poured all those feelings into the song. Then I played it for her and that was it - we were together

I read that on a web page, the lead singer said that is what this song means. Seems to me thats the way I see it to.

I think its all about something that you aren't sure about. Not that you can't get over a love, but that you can't decide what to do about it. Like should you go? or should you stay? You feel like you really don't have control but at the same time you know that its solution is in your hands but its just not that easy. You feel like you're in between what is real and what's a dream.
