Lyric discussion by yourdisposableteen 

This is a beautiful song. Everytime I hear it, it makes me think back to past relationships, and the good and bad that came with each.

This song is what you make it. It's different for everyone, and that's the way it was intended to be.

For me, this song is about wanting something or someone so much that, as hard as you try, you'll never get it. You'll never attain your dream because your dream is too good to be true; it's unrealistic in a sense. The idea that the singer will ever get the girl he dreams of is an impossible dream. She might be a real woman, or a fantasy, but he'll never have her, whoever she is. As much as he knows it will never happen, he still tries, and still feels the pain of failing whenever she isn't beside him. He'll get close to her, but then discover she was never that close at all, or she'll be just beyond his grasp. Even worse, one day he may find her, and be with her, and she'll leave, and crush his dreams.

To me, this song is the idea that each person is chasing after something that is impossible.
