The waves that silences break come again,
One by one
I lay awake and I count til I drown
Turn off the room, it's getting too loud,
I know I don't have to say it,
Pick up and move and go find some new ground,
Somewhere I know I can make it

But I won't give up,
When I want it enough,
No I won't give up,
Anything, anyway, anyone, anyday
'Cause I've figured it out,
Here and the now,
Takes me day by day

Hey, will you come out tonight?
Will you back down will you put up a fight?
Turn me around and make eveything right,
Make me normal, from now on

Erased every one I've replaced
In the end, they're all gone,
The faces all fade as the time passes by
What could I do I was waiting for you,
Grown sick and tired of faking,
Give me those eyes when I give you the truth,
Finally here for the taking

But I won't give up,
When I want it enough,
No I won't give up,
Anything, anyway, anyone, anyday
Cause I've figured it out,
Here and the now,
Takes me day by day

[Repeat: x2]
Hey, will you come out tonight?
Will you back down will you put up a fight?
Turn me around and make eveything right,
Make me normal, from now on

Figured it out,
Here and the now,
Takes me day by day

[Repeat: x2]
Hey, will you come out tonight?
Will you back down will you put up a fight?
Turn me around and make everything right,
Make me normal, from now on

Make me normal, from now on
Make me normal, from now on
Make me normal, from now on

    My Interpretation:I think it's about moving on from being in love with someone who isn't in love with you. (finding new ground). But that isn't easy to just give up if you love that particular person so much. Grown sick and tired of faking; He's not showing completely how he feels, also he's telling himself that there still is a way they could be together. only he's getting sick and tired of it, because it takes you day by day, thinking of how it could be, what ways it actually already is the way you want it to be, what you can do to make her see that he loves her. It's annoying all that thinking. That's why he wants to be normal again. Will she come out tonight and say what's really going on? will she fight against what he thinks is a possibility, or will she back up and just leave him wondering. Probably non of the above because she doesn't even know what's going on. So day after day he's going to hope to become normal again.

    General Comment:I think it's about wanting to fit in; to be Normal. But at the same time, not wanting to give up everything you stand for and believe in. It's a great song; a little on the poppy side, so that may be why it wasn't released.

    Check out the video on YouTube. It has some great videos spanning the band's entire career. It really makes the song a lot better.
