i think that hes depressed cause she left him (maybe moved or prolly broke up with him) and he wants her back so badly he wonders if he would even give his life for her. and he regrets maybe being a jackass to her by saying "you can hold me down and tell me that your right" and hes scared cus hes doesnt know what its like to be alone idk just my thoughts

"Less than a million nights"- Is it not, "Well i spent a million nights just like tonight, you know." Makes a little bit more sense.

To me this song seems like it's about this b*tch of a girl and this obsessive guy, they both are wrong, but they both need eachother. Maybe two wrongs do make a right? Or maybe i'm just crazy. ---rock on

It's about a guy getin dumped and the period of waiting for her to return to him and desperation to do any thing for her return. (e.g "Would I give my life for you?") also maybe a apology for him maybe being to proud, (e.g "You can hold me down, /And tell me that you're right.") He will too ne thing for this gal but she's justt sOOoO not Cool ! .. I'll stay for Andrew!! *yuM!*

a couple of my favourite lines; -------- "And we have this down, Unlike everybody." -------- "I scream your name at the sky, Until I lost my voice. Well, I'd give my life for you"

i think its about a guy who loves girl more then she loves him....and hes thinking about if it would be better if he just gave up on her because she clearly doesnt love him as much as he loves her " tell me what it's like to be alone"
