If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
so let me ask
would you like that?
would you like that?
and I don't mind
if you say this love is the last time
so now I'll ask
do you like that?
do you like that?
No
Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
so tell me how it should be
try to find out what makes you tick
as I lie down
soar and sick
do you like that?
do you like that?
there's a fine line between love and hate
and I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that
Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
so tell me how it should be
Desperate, I will crawl
waiting for so long
no love, there is no love
die for anyone
What have I become
Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane..
I would put myself right beside you
so let me ask
would you like that?
would you like that?
and I don't mind
if you say this love is the last time
so now I'll ask
do you like that?
do you like that?
No
Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
so tell me how it should be
try to find out what makes you tick
as I lie down
soar and sick
do you like that?
do you like that?
there's a fine line between love and hate
and I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that
Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
so tell me how it should be
Desperate, I will crawl
waiting for so long
no love, there is no love
die for anyone
What have I become
Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane..

"as I lie down, sore and sick" is how i would try so hard just to get her to give me a chance, to see the real me, and knowing i've failed i would lay in my bed sick to my stomach
"there's a fine line between love and hate" i would get angry becasue of her unrequited love and hate her for a week or so, then be back to loving her.
"I still try to find my place in the diary of jane" i got to the point where I could accept she didn't want me as her lover but I needed to find my place in her life.
"something's getting in the way, something's just about to break" i'd always feel like maybe tonight she'd give in and just give me a chance, hopefully let me into her heart, but there was always something in the way.
"desperate I will crawl, waiting for so long" i've been 'in love' with her for years, and it seems like the only progress i make is a desperate crawl
"die for anyone, what have i become" this is the line thaat hit me like a ton of bricks. i still cry now when I hear these words. for most of my senior year i highschool i would pray something horrible would happen, like a terrorist came into my class with a gun. I wanted to confront the gunman, and either save the day and be a hero so she'd notice me, or die to end the suffering and misery of my life. I would never commit suicide, i feel it is a signof weakness and i'm not weak. I'd wish for a way to die without killing myself because the pain of not being with the only person i wanted was overwelming me. when I heard these lyrics i realized i've become someone i didn't wish to be. i asked myself "Die for anyone, what have i become?"
The irony is, this girl's name is jane(elle) :)
right now, I've been able to accept not being equally loved and for the first time in a long, long time, i can be her friend and talk to her without getting sick to my stomach, angry, sad, or crying. even as I date other women, i still have feelinga for Janelle, and i try to find my place in the diary of Jane(elle)
"If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
so let me ask
would you like that?
would you like that?
and I don't mind
if you say this love is the last time
so now I'll ask
do you like that?
do you like that?
No"
Basically hes telling the girl his true feelings and she obviously doesnt feel the same way hence "NO"
"try to find out what makes you tick
as I lie down
soaring sick
do you like that?
do you like that?
there's a fine line between love and hate
and I don't mind
Just let me say that I like that
I like that"
Hes "trying to find out what makes her tick" because he wants this girl to really fall in love with him, but hes soaring sick because she doesnt love him and hes been through it so many times before.
"Something's getting in the way
something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
as I burn another page
as I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
so tell me how it should be"
the chorus is about how hes so sick and tired of never having his feelings returned, yet hes still "trying to find his place in the diary of jane" "Jane" being really a "Jane Doe" because there's been so many relationships like this one that its like a routine and her identity doesnt matter. "as i burn another page" refers to another relationship ending and him moving onto the next girl and he keeps trying because hes desperate.
"Desperate, I will crawl
waiting for so long
no love, there is no love
die for anyone
What have I become"
Saying that there he is never loved back yet hes been trying so hard and waiting so long. "die for anyone" it seems like he falls in love with almost anyone because hes been through it so many times. He doesnt know what hes become because he doesnt know what to do anymore other than to continue the pattern.
thats just my take on it, may be a long shot

Some time ago I hooked up with this guy who wants nothing but a purely carnal relationship. I fell in love with him and it hurts knowing that I’d rather be with him in this situation than living without him.
“If I had to I would put myself right beside you. So, let me ask, would you like that? And I don’t mind if you say this love is the last time (we’ve had so many so called ‘last times’, but we know we’ll find each other again) so, now I’ll ask, do you like that?”
“Something’s getting in the way (he has a girlfriend). Something’s just about to break (my heart). I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane (Doe. I’ll explain later why he’s my John Doe). So tell me how it should be”
“Try to find out what makes you tick (what he dislikes about me) as I lay down sore and sick. Do you like that?”
“There’s a fine line between love and hate and I don’t mind. Just let me say that I like that” I don’t care whether he loves me or not as long as he’s with me.
“I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane as I burn another page, as I look the other way” I’m trying to find my way into he’s life, although he doesn’t allow it directly.
“Desperate, I will crawl waiting for so long. No love, there is no love. Die for anyone. What have I become?” At first he was John Doe for me. I didn’t know him that well. He was just some guy in my life who I didn’t care about and I wasn’t like this. I’m not like this. That’s why “Die for anyone. What have I become?”
I’m still trying to find my way into he’s life.
die for anyone What have I become," he is wondering how long he will have to wait to die and be with her and he is still willing to die for her but realizes that is wrong. It migt be the best interpratation but hey, I'm new at this.
As for the meaning, it's about a guy who's obsessed with a girl (apparently named Jane) and is obsessed with making sure he does something that will make her remember her, whether it's out of love or anger. A little bit more of an original topic, not so "You just broke up with me now i'm gonna cry" type of song.
