| Everlong11, What I mean is...I don't know if Vanessa meant for the song to be directed towards Jesus. She hasn't said anything about being a christian to my knowledge, at least, so I don't know if she would mean it that way. | |

| This song is so beautiful. Every day is just an ordinary day unless you live it to its fullest. So often our dreams are 'right in the palm of our hands' but we never take advantage of the time to make them come true, this song is saying that we should look a little closer and our dreams could be coming true right in front of our eyes. | |

| Everlong11, I think this song could be interpreted as Jesus, as well. (I actually really like to think of it like that.) However, I don't know if Vanessa is a christian. | |

| It's not her best song, in fact I don't really like this one compared to her other works of art. But I give it some credit, I listened to it enough to know every single word. She reminds me of Norah Jones...or the other way around. Norah just opened for Dave Matthews. That was cool, they sound almost identical. They both rock. But still, great song by Vanessa. | |

| For some reason, whenever I hear this, I think of a smiling angel-boy and a girl standing in a sunny feild, looking at a lake. Weird. Pretty song, though. | |

| This song, to me, is about meeting someone who changes your perspective and teaches you to live life to its fullest, and not necessarily in a bad way. I dislike the video, though; it gives the impression that the song is just about making out, etc. And the song is sooo much more than that. | |

| papercutdoll- It's not just you; some of the lyrics are incorrect. Shinobi- This girl is probably trying to tell you either that she likes you and/or that you've really helped her see a whole new meaning to life. Just a guess... | |
