A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days?
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now,
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free, again
To keep alive, a moment at a time
That's still inside, a whisper to a riot
The sacrifice, the knowing to survive
The first decline, another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever, I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees, I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days?
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now,
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free, again
To keep alive, a moment at a time
That's still inside, a whisper to a riot
The sacrifice, the knowing to survive
The first decline, another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever, I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees, I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?

This is a direct reference to the meaning of the song, where, or should i say who it was directed to. He clearly states this song was dedicated to his daughter, so i thought this might send to the idea of creating something that will keep on fighting for his, in this case her own way of living, thinking etc.
I think it's about a girl who he was seeing but then moved off in search of a different life, but couldn't quite find what she was looking for, but deep inside she still loves him on some level, mostly for comfort, so she keeps returning and gets back with the songwriter for a short period of time, just to leave again, which keeps him in perpetual depression and heartbreak, because he is waiting on her.
Think about Jenny from Forrest Gump, or even the girl in "Self Esteem" by The Offspring. Same thing. Finally enough time has passed that the songwriter gets over her and is moving on because he has waited long enough....
Or has it? He made a decision, but doesn't like it. I think the "looking for a sign", "I never wanna die", "I'll never say goodbye" section is where he gets really confused. He is mad at himself for giving up and moving on. It seems like it's an easy decision, until he actually makes it. It makes him extremely upset, possibly even suicidal.
I see the paper mountains as a reference to many love letters written back and forth after she first moved off but then this cooled off and these feelings were wasted as they sat back and watched it happen.
I think this is FF's best album and defines them as artists. This song is about getting back to youby means of an artform (theirs is music)...the real you. The one who you always were.
