	it's about the dreams of the lower class, hoping to get out of poverty. i think its some young guy (probably about 20) dreaming of how much money he will make once he gets a job and how he will make enough to get his family out of poverty.

	That car line is really nothing compared to: Yeah I guess I'm doing okay I moved in with the strangest guy Can you believe he actually thinks that I am really alive? which I consider to be probably the worst lyric in recorded music. He wastes so many syllables to fit the meter and get to...alive? What? That sentence doesn't make sense, and he went so out of his way to make it! 1 2 Next

	This song is about unconditional love. I think he must've left to find work so he could send his wife/girlfriend money for the bills and for his daughter. She is poor and on welfare, obviously. He works so hard for her, so much that he really isn't living. But he loves her more than anything and wants to make everything perfect for her. He wants to buy her everything she's ever wanted. She's had flings with rich guys. He's away and she's lonely, and the money probably looks good. But he knows about them and loves her anyway. He knows they'll never love her like he does and never make her feel like he can make her. He still wants to make her life perfect. He just wants to be with her forever and make everything a paradise for her so she'll never have to worry again. It's such a sweet song.

	i think that thses posts are ALL wrong. the video is kind of dark. art is outside on a sunny day- grinning at a girls door, creepily, while she's on the inside (im pretty sure its denise richards) crying in a dimly lit room. to me- its about false promises, false hopes, and second chances. i guess i see the song with more of a sarcastic tone than most.
