This song almost saved my relationship with my gf. We have a long distance relationship. After 3 years, she decides that she can no longer wait to see me (even though she see me once every 6 months if either of us can afford it). She broke up with me, left me in the dark. I learned this song on the guitar, flew all the way to where she lives, took a cab to her house and stood outside. I played and sung this song to her to remind her of the hardships I have to go through as well, that in the end it is worth it all. I got a smile out of her from it, then never saw her again. She didn't come out to see me oranything. Broken financially and emotionally, I walked back to the airport. I gave up everything for her and she still wouldn't have me no more. Was it worth it? I think so. I at least tried. I showed her I was still there. This song is a constant reminder that I almost had her, the closest I've gotten. If she doesn't want me when I'm offering up the world, then she doesn't deserve me.

This song touches me on a personal level, having a long distance relationship myself. I have to wait until I finish high school to even visit my boyfriend, then I have to finish college/uni until I go to live with him. Having this experience makes me more capable of understanding the song's lyrics and meaning.

The guy who wrote this song is obviously in a band and must go on tour from time to time, and leave his girlfriend behind. His girlfriend, however, feels that he cannot give her what she needs, such as attention, quality time, and sex that is essential to a relationship and not having that is hard sometimes. While he is gone away, she has to remain faithful and wait until he gets home to receive any of this, so it is understanding that she would want to break up. Even though the guy seen this break up coming, he was still taken by surprise and was in denial. The guy felt like he would never be genuinely happy again, and when the girl suggests they be friends, he rejects her. He does not want to be just friends with the girl that once meant so much to him. "I'm not some boy that you can sway" is him telling the girl that he is not going to be one of those boys that she just tosses to the side and watches her fall in love with someone else while he still has intense feelings for her.

If you think otherwise, please leave your own opinion so others could read and get an accurate idea of the song's meaning.

The guy is going off to the military and he wants her to wait for him. He asks her to tell him something sweet to get him by, and he can't come home till they're sing la, la. Which means he can't come home until there is no more war. Or until his war is over. She is having trouble with the distance and the stress of it all so she just wants to be friends in the end.

I probably feel this way simply because it applies to my life, but it reminds me of going off to college. You leave behind the one special person, swearing you will be back soon and often. However, as time goes on, coming home isn't as simple as you thought it would be. It sounds to me like she is saying I can't continue to watch you leave, and I can't continue to dream of you being here next to me.
It feels like a few days after a huge fight and the night before he's coming home when she suddenly realized she can't do this any more. Life is taking them in two separate directions, no matter how badly they just want to be together. He swears he can't go on without her and realizes they could never just be friends, but she has herself to take care of and enough faith in him to know that he will be okay.
The truth of it is, they both knew when he went off, it wouldn't work. It hardly ever does. I think the end is saying "We've done what's right, and in some crazy, messed up way, it's brought harmony back into our lives and the lives of everyone we know."

This song reminds me about the year I met a special boy. One that somehow managed to smile through the worst. One who you couldn't look at without wanting to smile. He was amazingly beautiful in every way. He made me happy, made me feel. Worth something. After awhile, he couldn't do it anymore. He had to leave. I can't be mad at him, even though I want to. I miss him, more than anything. But I know he's okay, and he's happy now.

This song is almost exactly like my situation with a guy right now. He just left for basic in the military and is trying to convince me that this will work once he gets back, which is what the song said word for word. Another weird thing on how this song is like our situation is when in the song it says "and don't you dare say we can just be friends,". I actually told him that I think we should just be friends and he wouldn't give up so he wasn't "some boy that you can sway", and "we knew it'd happen eventually. " this song helps me wait for him, and is a constant reminder that he still loves me, and I just need to wait for him to come home. It's safe to say that this really is our song.

As I continue to listen, I figure the song is about a man that's chasing his dream to be in a well known band, but he has to be away from his girlfriend. He continues to promise her that once the band gets discovered and really well know (referring to "until everyone's singing... La, la la la, la la la) that he'll quit and go home to her and make things last. At first, the girlfriend is reluctant, but that turns into impatience. She also gets jealous that she's not her boyfriend's dream. In the end, just as she's about to break up with him, he surprises her by putting a crowd on the other end who's singing the song ("now everyone's singing. La, la, la")

I think its a song about a guy who wants to stay with this girl so badly but he's on the road so long that she feels neglected and just wants him home. The title "if it means a lot to you" I think is talking about the relationship, but it can go both ways. Meaning if it means a lot to her she'll stick through everything and wait for him or he'll give up everything to be back home with her. It makes me think about a lot with my marriage and everything going on between us being apart since he's in the army.

It is a break up song, not a love song. The boy is gone, and hes asking her if she can wait, then he can make it up to her. Then she gets tired of waiting, and she says "you know you can't give me what i need, and even though you mean so much to me, i can't wait through everything". Then they both say "we knew itd happen eventually. "

Ok so alot of people are talking about there ex's
this song has alot of diffrent meanings that seem to touch us in some way we can all agree on that.
My meaning:.
"if you can wait till I get home then i swear to you that we can make this last"
this song honestly makes me think about someone that is far away from someone they love, and something or someone is keeping them apart. Their trying their hardest to make it threw the day and even though voice is good too its never good enough compared to actuly feeling them next to them.
The la are the people who are trying to keep them away and even though they love eachother deeply, there scared that maybe even just that "la la la la" might just break them apart, but their willing to try to make it last.

I really want him to go but at the same time I'm scared to let him go, but I can't help it if he really wants to. He wont get to come home until "everyone is singing" and that's a two years.

This song makes me cry every time because it reminds me of my and my boyfriend. He lives half way across the country and we see each other as often as we can. We've almost broke up so many times because of the distance between us, but every time it comes down to it, we somehow seem to make it right. Now, we've been together for nearly a year, he came down to see me for my 21st birthday and decided he didn't want to say goodbye to me anymore. In just under a month he's managed to get himself a job and we're working on moving out together. Thankfully, unlike this song, we have a happy ending. For now. :D

I sent this song to my bestfriend after I decided we should take a break and sort our stuff out. We had a really bad break up before he went to college and so our relationship has been a little rocky. But this song describes us perfectly. Every time he comes back we try to make it work. We can't just be friends. We're meant to be more. It's just that he's so far and we can't take care of each other.
But yeah this song is about how when two lovers become seperated they realize that it won't work out as they planned. No matter what they promise, no matter how much they love each other, the distance is just too great for them to bear.

He could be in the military, on a mission, doing some other job that takes him from home or he lives farther away (college maybe).

I may not be the smartest to know the real meaning of this song, but everytime I listen to me, I fill up with love for the one who sang it to me on the nights I could call. It opened up the world and shut out everything someone else would tell me about how he shouldn't mean anything. It reminded me that I loved him, and always would, no matter how far away we got.

I believe it means that there's always a sour side to love. It has a boy talking about how he has to leave, but he can't wait to see her again. The girl misses him, and she understands what's going on, even though it hurts her to admit it. "you know you can't give me what i need. And even though you mean so much to me. I can't wait through everything"
she's letting him go, because she knows it can't happen anymore. "is this really happening? I swear i'll never be happy again. And don't you dare say we can just be friends. I'm not some boy that you can sway. We knew it'd happen eventually"
they broke up, and the boy is extremely torn up. He knew it wouldn't last.
Then after they break up, the people start singing "la, la.. " because they realize they were wrong.

It's about a musician who is following his dreams. He knows that he doesn't precisely need to be famous and he regrets leaving his girlfriend behind, but it's his dream and sometimes, you need to chase those instead of worrying about a relationship. He tells her that they shouldn't fight or end it until he gets home, because he's sure there's a way for them to fix the problems. She's feeling lonely, but she does want him to follow after his ambitions. It's just that her emotions have a higher control over what she does, and she really misses him. In the end, they break up, and his band gets big. Honestly, I think it's based off a tragic relationship that jeremy, adtr's lead singer, had while they were trying to get big. It's just a price you have to pay when you're a recording musician.

It's hard to wait, but when you can, when you care enough to, the wait is completely worth it in the end.

I can't imagine being without her, and I feel like home is where she is. I can't wait to come back to her. Then everything feels alright. But everyone says that they break up in the end. That's not how it has to be. She says she can't take it anymore. He pours his heart out. The thing they said most in the song is "we can make this last" and then they say "we knew it'd happen eventually" I think they meant being together. They knew it would happen. "and everybody's singing" he was able to go home and be with his love.

The thing they said most in the song is "we can make this last" and then they say "we knew it'd happen eventually" I think they meant being together. They knew it would happen. "and everybody's singing" he was able to go home and be with his love.

My girlfriend showed me this song and had no idea what the theme or meaning of the song was. I thought it was pretty depressing when I told her because it's about a guy being away from his loved one, the girl, and they are experiencing problems. She can no longer wait for him but he's pleading to be strong, to be there for him when he gets back. The song is about how life just separates people, not through a bad break up because of differences but because they have to go their separate paths. This strongly resembles the situation my girlfriend and I are in because I'm moving to another country to study in a university, leaving behind everything that comforts me. Leaving her will be the greatest challenge I will have to fight but I want to make good use of our time together and when we do break up and go our separate paths I want her to be strong. Strong enough to move on.

This song reminds me that my boyfriend is leaving me to go to university, we've been together for almost two years, and thinking about him leaving makes me feel sick. He posted this song on my facebook, and honestly, ignoring the ending it gave me hope about him leaving, and I know that every time I hear that song I will have the strength to carry on, even if it hurts really bad.

My girlfriend is tweeting the lyrics to this. It literally is us, word for word. It hurts her too much that I'm away, and she wants to end it. She says she doesn't even feel the love anymore, but I can tell its still there and she just says that to ease the pain. Can some one please tell me what I can do to make her realize that everything is gonna be okay? :( I've really tried everything and I'm so terrified of losing her, I don't know whats gonna happen and I feel like my life will be over if we are. That last verse is exactly how I feel right now. Some one please help me.

I love this song simply because my boyfriend wants to go into the marines and I myself can't see myself as an army wife. When I told him this he dedicated this song to me, singing "if you can wait till i get home, then i swear we can make this last. " I'm still not very fond of him leaving but the fact that he dedicated this song to me truly touched my heart. I'm so in love.

Actually this reminds me of my relationship with my husband. We met online, I hated him at first, he refound me but at that time I was in a dead end relationship, we fell in love took over almost 2 years for us to actually be in each others. He drove from michigan to my front door, got me and my belongs and we went to michigan a year later. Married and still are and happily.

The meaning of this song is the guy moves and he leaves his gf behind and she misses him alot and he tells her that if she can w8 for him then they'll b together for as long as they live but he needs the word from his family to go see her. Then she just wants to b friends with him because she can't stand the pain and the suffering, she can't tke it anymore. So she tells him lets just b friends for now cuz I can't do this anymore. And hes devastated.

I know everyone's sharing their ex bf/gf stories, but this song reminds me of something different. I guess it's just the situation. Anyway, here's my story: I'm in love with a guy, and he means the world to me, but he recently moved really far away from me. He showed me this song, and he's already told me he feels the same. Although he refuses to date me (officially), he's told me that as soon as he comes home to me, he's all mine. I want to believe that with all my heart, he's even come back for the summer to visit, and nothing makes me happier than this song.

My ex deticated this song to me when he and I was going through some rough patches in our relationship. He told me that he needed time to think about things and that he would be back. He told me to listen to this song repeatedly, so I did. I waited for him to come back to me, I waited several weeks, then months. At the first year mark of waiting, I finally gave up hope on him ever coming back. I loved that boy with all my heart. He treated me like no one else had ever treated me before.
It has been almost two years now and I still sit and listen to this song repeatedly. I guess it is cause even though I finally excepted the fact that he wasn't coming back, I still loved and cared for him and still to this day do.
This song is wonderful, but it has a way of making you remember feelins that you don't always want to remember, but at the same time, it is like it almost heals the pain that the feelings bring back.

If this was a year ago I'd say the same thing as all the other people on here who are feeling sorry for themselves. I know how you all feel and everything but there's no love without the pain that follows. You all are making yourselves vulnerable just because of breakups. News flash for y'all we all have them, we all go thru it. But would you rather feel pain and sorrow for someone who hurt you or to move on because if you want to move on the only person standing in your way is you.

This song makes me sad :( Yer I love it. It reminds me of me and my ex, I know alot of people have sai this, well atleast I wasn't the only person who thought it. But yeah, we was together nearly 2 years, and I only turned 17 on the 3rd Jan. So yeah, might of been abit young, but I f*cking loved her:/ Then I moved didn't I, and it couldn't work out. Even though she did f*k things up, I tried to put it behind me, but I couldn't, the trust was just gone! But she was so gorgeous, funny. 'i just feel complete when you're by my side' she was my everything, even my best freind. I know she probably won't be reading this, but Becky, I miss you. :(

This song reminds me of my ex. Been together for almost 7 months an I also thought we had something. The most amazing, beautiful girl ever. We would talk all the time, we would talk about issues, if she was upset I would. I love her an I thought she loved me but I was wrong. She quit talking to me, was quiet like she didn't trust me or didn't want anything to do with me. She text me a week after an said nothing was working out. Like my family told me. "its better to have loved an lost, then never loved at all.".

This song reminds me of me and my boyfriend haha we actually learned this song just for that reason. He lives in 400 miles away because he's in school to become a audio engineer and is also an artist trying to make a name for himself because he loves music. And while I'm stuck here waiting for him to come home he's living his life out there in dc. He's perfect for me but the distance is just too hard and every time he comes home he tries to prove to me that it's worth it and I believe it but it just isn't right when he isn't here.

The ending of the song the final chorus reminded me of what I said to my ex after she left me for a guy she met at work and now I'm more and more depressed because of that because she was my very first love and seeing her do that just teared my heart out like it was a piece of paper out of a three ring binder and she expected us to stay friends after she did it to me twice ha ill still be here when she decides to crawl back to me when he uses her like the last time. Sorry had to get that off my chest for all who where reading this my bad hehe.

I was thinking about what this song could mean. And I thought, one way it could be interpreted is a man leaving his girlfriend to go to war. A soldier. I thought of all the ways it relates to this idea. Such as, when it says 'i know you can't come back home til they're singin' As in, til the officers or whatever say it's time for the troupes to return. It's a good concept, but not the only one.

This reminds me of an ex he told me he loved me threee days after that he ran off with a girl came back and said nothing had even happened between them it hurt soo much he asks for second chances all the time but I can't ever let that happen its a fear of getting hurt for the same damn thing over and over and I can't deal with that.

Meds suck it up, youre only two hours away. I'm 10 thousand miles away from my girl and I've been this way for 18 of the last 24 months, and theres thousands of men and women in my situation who want nothing more than to be that close to their loved ones. If you can't make it work from 2 hours away you shouldnt be getting married in the first place. Plus for gods sake shes in high school let her grow up. Catmeoww if I were you I would tell him to walk. There will never be the trust there that you once had since he cheated. If hes cheating what else is he lying about to you? Don't wait for him go out and find someone who will treat you right. Unholy angel hit the nail right on the head with her comment.

This was me and my gf song cuz we live about 60 miles apart. Doesn't seem much but the problem was our parents didn't approve of us. Were a young couple but so in love. We didn; t care. On this one night we took off and just spent the night together and our way home I put this song on and told her this would be our song then I sang it to her. We ended our relationship cuz she found a bestfriend and made him seem important and I thought I couldn't compete with this guy she shes and hangs out everyday with. I still love her though all this.

This song makes me think of this guy who is very important to me but we couldn't quite make things work out because I do not live in the same town as him. But I will be coming back there soon and so this song is perfect because of where it says "if you can wait till I get home then I swear to you we can make this last"

I could really relate to this song. Its brings me back to my one and only everything cuz he is in a band and I don't get to see him and when were together he can make me feel so happy and all and all but its like now a days he has less time and were expecting one and idk if I can raise this kid on my own. But I got to his gigs and all with this kid but I can stand being away at times. :(

I can relate to this song very well. This guy that I'm 150% possitive I'm in love with and I have decided to end our relationship last night, due to the distance between us. He goes to school 2075 miles away from me, and it's tough for both of us. He loves me, I just don't think I'm strong enough for that kind of relationship. If only he could wait til I get 'home' then we'd be soo much better. Unfortunately, it didn't end up that way ("we knew it'd happen eventually"). I guess it's a love story gone wrong.

I can relate to this song my bubby is in a band and it really takes a toll on me with all the late night shows and pratice all the time and hes always on the computer editing music. He tells me this is his passion in life and when he gets a crowd singing all of his songs, he'll know if he is done because he that's all he wanted. But its really killing me to wait around and be put second to everything. Sometimes I just want to leave!

This song seems like it was written about my life (just hopefully not the last verse). I joined the marine corps and had to leave home and leave my girl sitting there waiting for me to come back home. I'm not asking her to wait for me, just hoping she does so by her own free will, but I know even if she doesn't, I will always be in her heart. I, without a doubt in my mind, know she is the only one for me and we will be together again. I will be waiting for her even if she decides not to do the same for me. One year down, only four more to go.

Me and my boy are having problems because he's always far away and I'm always sad and its getting harder and harder I feel like hes forgetting me. He made me listen to these lyrics. Its our story. Hes always far and he misses her. He loves her. She loves him to and he can't come home just yet. He can't give her what she wants when he's always away. He's saying to stay strong and in the end. Everyones singing. He came home to her. Now I just hope my ending is just as happy.

Its be for not before. And the girl doesn't want the guy to leave and go on tour because she feels more secure when he's around and she is going to break up with him if he goes because she doesn't want to be alone and he doesn't want to lose her and is trying to tell her that if she just waits until he gets back to decide she won't want to break up with him anymore because he'll be back and they can talk about it and work things out and they can make it last. Tah-dah.

I got all the albums of a day to remember because I love the heavy metal they play and I was shuffling through the songs and this song came up. It reminded me so much of my best friend, girl friend, and my mom. They always tell me that we gotta stay strong and we will always get through the hard times in life. I've been through a depression that almost killed me and it did leave me an emotionless husk of life. I had to go through middle school bullying and living through a life where all I wanted was acceptance and never got it. This song put such a huge smile on my face and almost made me break to tears. It makes me so happy that there are people out in the world that care for others and I'm so happy to be one of them instead of what I used to be.

This song reminds me of my boyfriend.
Just the other day we got in a argument because of this one girl he was talking to over the summer. I saw her talking to him and she was being very flirty with him. And this wasn't the first time I've seen her do it. Now I'm debating whether or not I still want to be with him. I'd hate to brake up wih him, but I just can't take that. I'm hoping that we can still be together(:

This song is all about me and my fiance. I'm away at college while she is finishing up high school. My school is two hours away from home and I don't get to see her very often. We've had some downs where we missed each other so much and didn't know if we could take it. I wanted to go to school here for nursing, but I didn't need to go here. Every knight that I'm gone she tells me that she needs me there and begs me to come home. She understands why I'm here but that doesn't make things any easier on her. I need her to tell me how much she loves me everyday all day. I know that we are going to spend our lives together. I sing this song to her everytime I see her. This song is us. The stress got to us once and we broke up for about a day. We were both completely broken without each other. She is my lifeand I would do anything for her. She may not realize it yet but I am doing this for her so that I can be a worthy husband and the kind of man that she deserves in this never ending game called life.

This is about my life. Only the third line down in the second half stanza of the seventh paragraph. . But I think it was written for me. My boyfriends are all starting a band together in georia tennessee. They all are hoping I wait for them. But I can't. They just don't give me what I need. That is A lot of s**. When they are away. I can't get it. So why wait. I need it now. So if you know any boy, or even girl. At this time I am desperate. Girl needs appropriate toys. Don't care about looks. S** has no face. Please no aids or stds. Thanks. Take care.
