| I noticed that nobody had commented on this song so I felt that I should. I think this is one of the best songs on "On and On..." I think it's about a girl who is with a guy who hasn't treated her well at all, but she stays with him anyway. She dreams of getting out of the relationship but always finds herself going back to him. The song is a message to do act and make yourself happy, "don't let dreams be dreams." In other words, make dreams into realities instead. That's my two cents. What do you all think? | |

| This song hits home for me in a big way. I used to date this guy who was very controlling and very jealous. When I went off to college, he was in college back home - he had all sorts of restrictions on me as a girlfriend, and i let him do it. but it wasn't enough for him to hold me back, he decided to transfer up here. I kept trying to leave, but he just kept following me. When I finally ended things for good, I just played this song on repeat... finally being free, and having the strength to get away from such an unhealthy relationship is very empowering. 1 | |

| i love this song!i think its about a guy who just puts his girl down.. and she thinks (or knows) she deserves better so she decides to leave him.. idk though.. the great thing about music is that it can mean anything you want it to mean.. art is what make it (erhmm. crzycello, don't tell people whether they're right or wrong.. ) | |

| hmm... well, the girl wants and tried to leave - but the bad boyfriend follows her to keep her miserable and tells her that she needs his sorry ass because life is so tough. enter the jack who says - girl, its not so bad ... go on and do what you gotta do, do what you wanna do. | |

| a girl was with a guy whos an ass to her, and the singer, jack, or it could be anybody (its happened to me) is in love with her, and wants her to get out of the relationship so she can be happy, but she wants to stay with the ass, even though she knows hes an ass. (the guy in my experience wasnt really an ass, hes my friend, but he was an ass to her) | |

| "But a short time is a long time when your mind just wont let it go" - This lyric hits hard...I think this song focuses on a guy who just can't get over his old girl...He made mistakes and realizes it but she has moved on while he cannot....Great Song Jack | |

| I always thought that it was more then bringing her down. that her boyfriend may have abused her and she leaves him, along with the negative energy he has. then jack is talking about how he followed her and kept telling the girl she couldn't do anything. I think she's running at this point but the guy continues to stalk her because although he was abusive he cannot let go of her. finally she does get away permanently and is able to have her dreams be real life the way jack is telling her. don't let your dreams be dreams | |
