The Fray – Say When Lyrics 15 years ago
one of my all time sad/great songs. bha. It sums me and my 'friends' life upp, always wondering when someone is going to say the words. we are always there for each other, silently at times, we are so close its scary, but no one will give tht extra bit to say, so nothing goes any further.
"We're coming close and then even closer
We bring it in but we go no further"
then one day it seems like we are getting somewhere and things break down, and the subject comes up of how much we love each other, and i feel my chest tighten, i want him to tell me, i want him to say how much he wants me to be his and how much he loves me, truely loves me. although the roles are reversed in the song i want him to tell me the words; i know he thinks the same thing. and thats the sad part.
"I'm breaking down and you're breathing slowly
You say the word and I will be your man, your man"
things get in the way, complications arise- "chaos". so everyone falls silent. the main thing that stands out to me is that god in this song is fate. maybe "god can be on both sides of a gun"; although fate brings together some great thing sand the at good times the love you get from it is worth it, sometimes fate brings you back to people who aren't good for you, who always seem to hold you back because you dont say those words. and the feelings "never go till we give in". my personal feelings on that song. lol just my little two pennies worth :D LOL. anyone agree/disagreee.... i like to know what ppl think :) x

Gavin DeGraw – Free Lyrics 15 years ago
I cant believe no one has commented on this, its one of my favourites by gavin. theres one part i love because of the music and the words "i feel crowded and alone" i can really relate to this. That part feels so important to me; cs while you can be surrounded by so many people its still so easy to feel alone.

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin
Sun in the air
I have to feel love
Holding on me
I'll give you everything
That you would ever need

I think the song is about someone(I assume a man) not being so stable in a certain part of their life they’ve lost their love, their heart, their sense, they have been everything because of the love they had from the woman in his life its given him the strength to be anything he wanted to be. (first two verses) but the chorus tells us that he “have to feel love” its more like it’s a must, a need, something he can’t survive without; its like he are begging someone to love them, and they are saying that they will “give them everything that they would ever need”.

And every once in a while
I wanna sit back and enjoy the view
I'm feeling my senses
But woman my life has been surrounded by fences
But I found some that I could see through
I could see through

Hes talking directly to one person, saying that for his entire life he has been trapped by fences, but then she came along and he can see through them, but it says ‘could’ its past tense, the ‘woman’ has took them away; so hes begging for his freedom, his senses, to feel things that he used to feel when he had her love; his sense have been dulled.

I may be wrong with the analysis but heyy I gave it a shot; and while writing this it made me love it more; anyone else got some thoughts; cs ive been searching what people think this songs means, its so powerful; but sometimes I think the power in it is that I don’t really understand it and I can put my own spin and feelings into it. :) x
