What day is it
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up, and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me
And all the other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

Why are the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right?
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me
And all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now
That I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you and me
And all the other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all the other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

    My Interpretation:To me this song's about true love, when it's meant to be. Julia Roberts said something along those lines:
    I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.

    General Comment:This song is straight forward I believe. This guy has feelings for this girl. He loses track of time when he's with her but he knows that eventually their time together will expire. When he enters a crowded room, and she is there, she is all he can see. He sees through the other people. He can't put into words how he feels about her, and it seems he is afraid to tell her. She is on his mind, but as time dies, so does what they have

    I can relate to this song...unfortunately.

    General Comment:this could also be one of those "us against the world" dealios. it always seemed to me like it's about two friends who, after being counted out and forgotten, realize they're in love but can't tell the other person.
    the above might not make sense to everyone, but i write stories and this song was ispirationf or on eof those stories/pontential books

    General Comment:This is definitely my all time favorite song. I love how he loses track of time when he's with her and how he feels there are no words to describe how he's feeling. I also love how its "you and me" and other random people who aren't important, and nothing is important anymore. Whenever I listen to this song I imagine the girl and guy to be dancing and staring at each other and forgetting there are people in the room too. It is simply beautiful and magical. I knowI'd love to feel that way and experience that someday. :)

    General Comment:This song really means a lot to me. Cause I've been in love with my best friend for quite some time, but she really never expressed interest in me. At least not in the same way I did her. A bunch of her girlfriends were telling me to just wait...that she'd fall for me in time. So I waited 2 long years. And still nothing. She was dating some douchebag womanizer that always hurt her, yet she continued to date him.
    She found out a few months ago that her douchey boyfriend had been cheating on her and she got mad. He dumped her though. I went over to her house and she was crying. It hurt me to see her cry. I gave her a long hug and she ended up fallen asleep in my arms. It seemed like nothing could ruin that perfect moment.
    Later that night someone at our school was having a party. They played this song and all the happy couples got up to dance while her and I sat around feeling miserable because we didn't have anyone to dance with. Suddenly I got an idea.
    I stood up and asked her to dance. She said yes ad we went into the crowd where everyone was dancing, and time seemed to go on forever. It was almost as if it was just her and I dancing, and no one else was there.
    When the second chorus started I leaned down and kissed her...it was almost like a scene in a movie. She kissed me back, and it felt like there was nothing wrong in the world. Like all the darkness had faded to light. It was magical.
    When the song ended we sat back down, but this time sitting in one of two chairs. We cuddled for a while, and after a little bit, I asked her out.

    Now five months later we're a happy couple. She applied to a different college than I and got accepted. I got accepted to the other college...but I didn't want to leave her. So I applied to the college she applied to and got accepted. So now we'll be together in college as well.

    This is one of my favorite songs...it really expresses all the emotions you feel when you're in love.... Happiness. Fear. Strength. Weakness. All those emotions mixed together to create that special feeling.

    The feeling you never want to forget.

    General Comment:This is the most beautiful and romantic songs i have ever heard. This was the first song that i had dedicated to my girlf friend.
    How many times have each of us felt this way..we walk into a room full of people and we see that one persona t the end of the room and you just cant take your eyes off that person.. the chatter and the noise around you doesnt bother you.
    you loose track of time
    you dont know what to say and how to say to that person. You just mumble some stuff in front of that person and feel stupid.
    this song depicts all those feelings very well..
    thumbs up to lifehouse for producing such a beauty

    General Comment:I love this song so much :) some of the lyrics I dont quite understand... but the chorus and the way its sung is really.. touching. It sort of captures the essence of being in love. Sometimes when i listen to love songs I close my eyes and just see what comes to mind. And in this song what always comes to mind is memories of guys ive loved. This song is amazing and it makes me cry :')

    General Comment:Guess the meaning of the song is right there... and that´s the beauty of this song: it doesn´t hide the feeling, opposite to what the singer (or person in the story) is doing with the girl, as expressed on the lines:

    "All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
    I'm tripping on words"

    On the song he's not tripping on anything. He's just saying how much he loves her and how she has become his entire world ("And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you").

    I love the song and share the feeling right now. Great, great song.
