Lyric discussion by smilellie 

So before you take this song as truth You should wonder what I'm taking from you How I benefit from you being here Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears

Maybe that bit means that before whoever he's on about takes the song to mean he's glad to be free and out following his dreams, and thinks it's a negative way of looking at them, being a past relationship or whatever He's always thinking of them, and reflecting on his past The bit where it says they are lending him their ears means he's grateful they are taking the time to listen to his music, because whoever he is talking to inspired the song. but it's bittersweet because his 'fears' also come from them, as he wants to be free to do as he pleases 'out on the main street'... without them, just watching from a distance.

in that bit he is most definetly talking to the audience :P
