It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did
But never did a thing about it till I let you in
It's kinda funny: by the time that I was falling apart
You came and put me back together, now...
'Cause what I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
I still remember all the stupid things that I've said and done
But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!"
Givin' me a name; I found myself inside all the flames
Becoming everything for you again is...
What I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
Don't tell me you saw it all along
God help me, I never knew it alone
Guess I was wrong
What I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
You've taken me
And shaped me to become what you want me to be
But never did a thing about it till I let you in
It's kinda funny: by the time that I was falling apart
You came and put me back together, now...
'Cause what I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
I still remember all the stupid things that I've said and done
But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!"
Givin' me a name; I found myself inside all the flames
Becoming everything for you again is...
What I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
Don't tell me you saw it all along
God help me, I never knew it alone
Guess I was wrong
What I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
As days go by
I've finally become what you want me to be
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering
You've taken me
And shaped me to become what you want me to be

"It's kinda funny about the time that I was falling apart.
You came and put me back together, now..."
He didn't know what to do in life, and she helped him get it together. Also, this line:
"Don't tell me you saw it all along
God help me, I never knew I belonged
Yes I was wrong..."
Somehow to me it feels like she'd been wanting him to go for her, but wasn't sure if he'd ever come around. He didn't think he belonged with her, but now he admits he was wrong.
And yes, the guitar in this is AMAZING.
