Sick and tired of this world
There's no more air
Tripping over myself
Going nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
I took a dive

On all the way down
I saw you
And you save me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held on to you

Been wondering why
It's only me
Have you always been inside?
Waiting to be
It's all right
Sunlight on my face
Wake up, yeah

I'm alive
'Cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you

I was so afraid
I'm going under
But now
Weight of the world
Feels like nothing
No nothing

Down down down
You're all I wanted
Down down down
You're all I needed now
Down down down
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed

Ah, ah
Ah, ah
And won't forget the way you love me
Ah
All I wanted
All I needed now

On the way down
I saw you
Save me from myself
And won't forget the way you love me
And on the way down
I almost fell right through
But held onto you
Down down down
But I held onto you
Down down down
But I held onto you
Held onto youâ?¦

    General Comment:On the way down
    I saw you, and you saved me from myself
    And I won't forget the way you loved me
    And on the way down
    I almost fell right through
    But I held on to you

    that really speaks to me, everyone has been to that low point in thier life where everything is so low that we take a "dive" and then someone saves us, but we dont kno for sure who hat is yet

    General Comment:The song IS about God. Ryan himself said so right before he performed it in his Live at the Wiltern recording. But he never mentions good so that people who listen to it can interpret it their own way.

    General Comment:right. the song never mentions God, and is left for interpretation. when i first heard it, it was just a song. that was a few years ago.

    but recently, i went through my old music, and lsitened to this song. and i related to it symbolizing God. i went though a lot of things in february, and i believe that God helped me out of it. He helped me up from the lowest point in my life, saved me.

    So, not matter who it is that helped you out, God, a friend, a family memeber, or a stranger, they helped you out. They saved you, if you went though some bad things.

    And it's just that.

    General Comment:this song was my jam in '05, and i still love it. i agree with shadeslayer, i figure it's about being saved too. probably when you're falling into a pit of self destruction and the world isn't going right for you.

    General Comment:I enjoy this song at times =) I remember in an interview I saw YEARS ago (2005 or so), and he was saying this song is about someone or something saving you. He said it can be anything to whoever listens to the song, whether human or not, but it's about being saved. (unfortunately he never stated what it was to him, but I can only assume it's God).
    I love the meanings in... well all of his songs. They're almost always deep, and it makes it even more beautiful to listen to xD
