I've loved the music Sam Beam for many years now, but never really gave this particular song much thought...that is until recently I found a connection to it through my interpretation of it. To me it's about a man who wants so badly to be with his love, and wants to be their rock. But the harder he tries, the more scared he gets of being without them. The line "I'm only frightened cause you finally gave me something to lose" tells me that he can't picture a life without them. He's trying to apologize in a way, because his past has made him bitter, but when he's with them, all that matters is the here and now. I can really relate because I've been going through similar feelings lately.
