	i think he's saying maybe that person is looking in the wrong places for the one they love when he's loved her all along and she didn't care about his feelings and didn't care about what he saw her do and he'll wait till she comes around

No Picture Bryan Average	#2 by Bryan at Aug 8, 2006 at 9:56 AM EST
	Yeah. I totally agree with the divorce idea of the whole song. What I dont get is how people think it's about a couple who's having problems... Well I guess it could fit the chorus... Maybe. But if you look at the verses... It doesnt fit there. I mean, it's definitly talking about a son and one of his parents. But hey... I guess lyrics can be interpreted in many ways...

No Picture chris Average	#3 by chris at Aug 24, 2006 at 11:05 AM EST
	This song is awesome. I can't stop singing it. I think It's about somebody who loves another, but the other seems to be pursuing somebody else. Meanwhile, he's saying, maybe you're wrong, maybe you love me -- the other thinks "it's all wonderful" and that they have it all, but really he can see right through to how empty what she's chasing is. About the son and child thing, I think it's figurative for saying he's an older love (so a more grown-up son) and the other is this new fling (a child). Also it could just be that she thinks it's gotten old with him, and she wants to go after something new. I can relate about the "but you're over it all" part. Sometimes you see something happen and you tell yourself, "that's not me, I would never do that, I'm different", and so you disregard completely that you could be like that. But in reality, when you're put in a certain situation, you fall into exactly the same pitfalls. Love is blind.

	uhm, i'm not sure but i think i read somewhere that this song's about Jason's parents' divorce... anyway, i LOVE this song. easily one of the top songs in their new album.

No Picture Redryder Rhythm Player	#5 by Redryder at Jan 20, 2007 at 6:13 PM EST
	Yeah, after reading the lyrics, they make perfect sense in the context of his parent's divorce. I'd go with the "divorced parents" theory.

No Picture Arnar Average	#6 by Arnar Einarsson at Mar 1, 2007 at 5:32 AM EST
	scratch thta i remember he said at the concert that he wrote this and didicated this to his father
