I see it in the way you would do
When no one else could ever get through
Holdin' back 'till I come around
Time and time again you wait for me to come in
And did you really look my way?
'Cause no one could of seen this comin'
I would never let you down
If I was runnin' backwards in full time

I can and I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight

[Chorus]
And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if fallin' for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

Me, I'm used to being tired and bloody
But you believed that I could be somebody
You put your world on hold for me
Gave away to follow failure through the fire
I need you to know I will
Believe me girl, I'm so tired of runnin'
I just wanna hold your hand
Stare at you like you've got everything I need

And I can so I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight

[Chorus]

And what if I never said to you I was dynamite?
(Dynamite)
And what if I never told you I'm afraid to cry?
(I wanna cry)
What if I never let you down inside?
I'm sorry for the nights I can't remember
What if I never said to you I would try?

[Chorus]

Yeah,
And I do wanna love you
(I wanna love you)
And I do wanna try
(I wanna try)
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time, yeah
So hold back your tears this time.

    My Interpretation:ok, i can actually write an interpretation that hasn't been mentioned before. i see this song quite different than the comments i read.
    i have a daughter named Alex who just turned 5. i havn't always been there as a father, in fact wasn't even living with her mother when she was born. i love her dearly. it's m greatest fear that the mistakes i made years ago, will affect and affected her in an adverse way. (of course i can hear the lyrics where the writer professess his love, but this is an interpretation right?)
    it gives me hope, that she can still see the good in me, and that she saw i was imperfect and struggled in those years, yet she still sees the love i feel unconditionally for her. i know it will never be easy for us....after all i am a dad and she is a beautiful girl just sprinting towards being a teenager. geez, hurts even to say it. but i pray one day that she will say to me that she loves me, and that, no matter what, she knows i always will do the absolute best i can for her.

    General Comment:I don't know anything about the band besides the guy being on idol once but i had a completely different take on it. I thought it was more about some guy who was in a dark place like getting drunk all the time or something and everyone was giving up on him except her and she stuck by him through all the hard times. This is his way of saying sorry for being emotionally absent and thank you for sticking with him through it all. The nights he can't remember are when he was in that dark place.

    General Comment:even if this song really is about his wife, i like to think of it in a different way that can be more personal to his listeners instead of being just about his personal life.

    to me, its kind of like he's in a situation where he met this great girl who fell head over heels for him. however, for the longest time he was so hesitant to get in too deep with her, possibly because of complications in his own life...but she was so damn persistent and he's finally realizing how much he loves her and that he wants it to work.

    General Comment:i took this song as though he's showing how much he loves his wife. How she was always there for him, even though he made many mistakes. Whether it was just him being a retarded drunk etc, he's just showing how much he really cares.

    this song makes me want to find true love, bad.
