Matchbox Twenty – Rest Stop Lyrics 2 years ago
The meaning to me is simple. I've lived it more than once.

Someone is just done with you. Done with you to the point where they really don't care if you live or die, or what the outcomes that come afterward mean.

"It came to mind that I didn't care".

Rob (or maybe all of us) want to feel like someone cares.

But theres that moment of isolation, where all of the oxygen comes out of the room and you realize how alone you are.

Thats why the line "just 3 miles from the rest stop".

If the rest stop was hit before the impulse decision was made he would have had a better shot on the high way.

Thats when he realizes how truly alone he is.

Couldn't even go 3 miles before this moment.

Anberlin – Naive Orleans Lyrics 11 years ago
This seems to be a bit different then what others are seeing.

The song starts out with:

Come and go now as you please
Your actions write the melodies
To the songs that we sing
And you just sing

Then goes into

And I finally found that life goes on without you
And my world still turns when you're not around

The song ends with "And you just sing along out.. loud"

Both people have been trying to find reasons to make it work. They've hurt each others, and both have come back. They realize they aren't each others crutch anymore. They are saying this to themselves at this moment of clarity

Josh Kelley – Almost Honest Lyrics 11 years ago
Ya nailed it.

It's about struggling to tell the person before you have to leave again how much it all means. Vocalizing the importance would make the pain harder.

Jason Mraz – A Beautiful Mess Lyrics 11 years ago
This is going to come off as playfully obvious but hear me out.

It's about how imperfect love is.

"Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks ‒ they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words that paraphrasing this relationship we're staging"

Man you are nuts. This is why I love you.

"Through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And tides ‒ they turn ‒ and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today. Oh, the wait was so worth it."

Love and beauty coming can be dirty. But we are dirty together.
