I really admire this song. I got the cd the day it came out and I fell in love with song first, even if I did hear 'If you were young' first.
I think that this song is just about someone who is too deep into something that haunts them that they were desperate enough to call out for help, something that they weren't planning on doing in the first place, but then they started doubting themself--
There’s a plane and I am flying/ He's in the middle of something he can't turn back from.
There’s a mountain waiting for me/ There's gotta be standard ground at the end of this.
Oh these years have been so trying/ self explainatory =P
I don’t know if I can use them/ just can't live anymore with this
Am I strong enough to be the one?/ can I actually live through this?
Will I live to have some children?/ Can I live long enough to find someone else and have children.
Help me get down, I can make it. Help me get down 2x/ crying out for help
If I only knew the answer/ If I knew why I was stuck on this
I wouldn’t be bothering you/ I wouldn't be asking for help
Father, help me get down, I can make it. Help me get down 2x/ Actually begging God to help them
If I only knew the answer/ If I knew why I wasn't letting this go
and if all our days are numbered/ If well obviously never be together
then why do I keep counting?/ then why am I still counting down the days to be with you?
My sugar’s sweet, and so obtainable/ My kiss is sweet and in reach
This behavior’s so unexplainable/ I don't even know why I did it
The days just slip and slide like they always did/ We never charish our days, still don't
The trouble is my head won’t let me forget/ I still can't forget you for the life of me
I took one last good look around/ I'm not gonna stay in the past
(So many unusual sounds.)/ I can still hear you
I gotta get my feet on the ground/ I gotta keep my sanity
Help me get down, I can make it, Help me get down 3x/ I think I might be able to make it if you help me
If I only knew the answer/ If I knew why I was staying in the past
I wouldn’t be bothering you/ I wouldn't be asking for help in the first place
Father, help me get down, I can make it. Help me get down. Help me get down, I can make it. Help me get down/ God, help me forget
If I only knew the answer/ If I knew why I wasn't forgetting
and if all our days are numbered/ And If I know we'll never be together
would you help me get down?/ Just PLEASE help me (pleading)
If I only knew the answer/ If I only knew why I wasn't forgetting!
If I change my way of living/ If I forced myself to forget
and if I pave my streets with good times/ If I made more good memories (new ones) than bad
will the mountain keep on giving?/ Would I continue living on?
And if all of our days are numbered/ And If we'll never be together
then why do I keep counting? / Why am I still hoping?
