Timing Included
It took me a long time to get the timing for the lyrics with the
notes. And alot of playing it over and over and over again. And now
that I've finished tabbing it, I'm sick of hearing it. So everybody
be happy with this one. It's a very good and very easy song to play.

No Picture ZENacheived Average	#1 by ZENacheived at Sep 26, 2007 at 12:31 AM EST
	At least once in your life, you will love someone, and after the relationship is over, you will look back and beat yourself up over all the mistakes you made. You will blame yourself for the bad breakup. (I shouldn't have treated him/her like that, I should have controlled my temper, I should have respected his/her needs, etc.) To me, this song says to go for love again, but don't screw it up. Example: "When you fall, don't make the same mistakes..."

No Picture Jake "the insan Average	#2 by Jake "the insane bassist" Martinez at Sep 26, 2007 at 4:27 AM EST
	To me this song is about the situation between two friends, perhaps Christian, where one has slowly lost faith. The other friend has witnessed his friend come from a life full of sin to a better one with Jesus, and now he is watching that same friend be tempted with the same things over again. The faithful friend states that "its not the way it used to be" and he pleads with the other not to fall back down and make the same mistakes all over and that if he just believes in himself that he can make it through. I believe this song is definately spoken from experience.

No Picture juan Wanna Be	#3 by juan gonzalez at Sep 27, 2007 at 8:51 PM EST
	I love this song. It's so beautiful. It is quite vague, but that's good as it means it's open to interpretation and it can fit whatever meaning you want it too. To me it's about learning from your mistakes and not letting them happen again. It seems he's singing it to someone else though, a close friend or something.

No Picture Kc Lead Player	#4 by Kc LaTour at Sep 27, 2007 at 11:05 PM EST
	I'm with raebites on this one. My interpretation is that maybe this person suffered from really low self esteem, and saying stuff like "You deserve better" etc. and by doing this also manages to hurt the loved one, causing them to break up. Atleast that's my interpretation of the chorus.

No Picture Coke Average	#5 by Coke Can at Sep 30, 2007 at 8:34 AM EST
	well, first of all, this song has so much meaning and memory attached to it. the first time i heard it was last year in october or november. the cd finished, but i was doing homework, so i didn't take note. and then i stopped dead. i heard notes that were so beautiful and amazing i thought there was an angel in the room singing. and the first thought that came to mind was "why the hell is this track hidden?" it's the best one on the cd and it's so emotional. in the following weeks, the boy i was in love with had a running joke that he was going to commit suicide. he never did, but everytime i heard this song, it reminded me of him and if i sang along with it, it felt like i was talking him out of it. to be honest, he was a stupid jock that got everything he wanted and eventually moved far away, giving me hell in the process. (we never went out.) but other things have happened to me when i was listening to the song and it's taken on an entirely new meaning now. the new meaning is a little raw, but that's what the song is. it's so raw. this, ladies and gentlemen, is the best of three doors down. 1

	First, I would like to say how proud I was to finally discover this track on the CD. It was one of those great discoveries that occurs because you are lazy (and don't shut off your cd player when the cd finishes) The song is vague. I don't think they intended a certain meaning for it. It just about someone who has made mistakes and then moved on, but they are now headed for the same road they were headed down before. Perhaps a recovering alcoholic?

	This song sounds beautiful, obviously sung from the heart, Purhaps it's about someone needing a hand to stand up and be happy/statble with themselves. Good tune though.

	Could this possibly be about someone who had a drinking problem...? I know the whole lines about "life's your cup so drink it up" could be interpreted many ways, but if you think about it, it could be. But I agree with whoever said this song was vague. I think it's meant to be, so each listener can find their own meaning.
