I've had this song stuck in my head for a long time now... and I finally really read the lyrics tonight.

Lifehouse - Somewhere In Between

I can't be losing sleep over this, no I can't.
And now I cannot stop pacing.
Give me a few hours, I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing.

'Cause I cannot stand still.
I can't be this unsturdy.
This cannot be happening.

This is over my head but underneath my feet,
'Cause by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat.
And ev'rything will be back to the way that is was.
I wish that it was just that easy.

'Cause I'm waiting for tonight,
Then waiting for tomorrow.
And I'm somewhere in between
What is real and just a dream,

What is real and just a dream,
What is real and just a dream.

Would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in?
Don't be surprised if I collapse down at your feet again.
I don't want to run away from this.
I know that I just don't need this.

'Cause I cannot stand still.
I can't be tihs unsturdy.
This cannot be happening.

'Cause I'm waiting for tonight,
Then waiting for tomorrow.
And I'm somewhere in between

What is real and just a dream,
What is real and just a dream.

What is real and just a dream.



Somewhere In Between (commentary by Jason Wade)
Before my girlfriend and I got together, she had broken up with this guy. I'd been head-over-heels for her for years even though she was dating him. So they broke up, and I was like, "Man, if I don't make a move now, I may never get a chance." I was always friends with her but never really could get a step further. So I started taking her out to dinners and stuff. She was a little bit on the rebound, but I think she had some feelings for me. We were at that point where we weren't sure if we were dating or not, or even if she really liked me in that way. It was a very vulnerable time for me and that's when I wrote "Somewhere In Between." I poured all those feelings into the song. Then I played it for her and that was it - we were together.


"I poured all those feelings into the song."

Wow... I wish I could do that... *sigh* -_-
