Someone Else's Life

I love this song so much, I think it's about being in love and wanting the person to fall in love back.

I think this is about someone who just dont have to guts or just cannot say what's in his heart to this girl.

i think this is about a failed relationship and he wants it to start up again. ("show you every way i've grwn since i've met you")

i think he feels so lucky to be with this girl, she is so out of his league, he feels like he is "leading someone else's life"

i love the line, "somehow, i’ll make tonight our own show you every way i’ve grown since i’ve met you and right now i’ll be the boy in your next song i’ll learn the parts and play along if you’ll let me"

I saw Joshua in concert tonight, and he stated that he wrote this song for a girl, but she "would have none of it". He later wrote "The Fear you Won't Fall" for her, and they have been dating for the past year.

i heard the same thing as meagain716...the song is for his current girlfriend, Schuyler Fisk, who is on tour with him.

i love this song but i don't understand - why would you keep a picture of someone in your SHOES?

i agree though i think it's written for schuyler

It is written for Schuyler Fisk. There's a cute video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbtwQ4n3plg where he gives her a sidelong glance and says something about it being for his girlfriend and Schuyler blushes and everyone laughs.

"And right now I’ll be the boy in your next song I’ll learn the parts and play along If you’ll let me"

Those lyrics make me smile because Schuyler is a singer/songwriter as well. I really love how smitten he seemed to be with her...and no wonder why, she's a down-to-earth beauty who writes some beautiful music as well.

I would love to know the story about the picture in the shoe too! Is this some kind of good luck thing or something? If I ever meet him in person, I might have to ask...

I think this song is absolutely about liking a girl and your unsure if she will like you back exactly the same way. The lyric "if you let me, i'll show the world to you" that to me means he is willing to do anything in his power to make this girl happy..

"I keep your picture in my worn through shoes. Then there's you. Then came you. When I'm lost, I look at my picture of you."

I think it means that he keeps a picture or memory of her wherever he goes. He's not literally putting a picture of her in his shoes, but thinking about her always.
