Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Waiting here watching VH1, Counting Crows is playing "Round Here"
And I'm not having fun because you're not here with me
three more years-six more days to go until I see you again and here I sit alone
one more time around it's not time for me to go let me wallow just this once
and drown my sorrows in this glass
so I try to get my mind off her but it's not working tonight
I wait for her letters and dream we're together one more time
I can't remember the last time because it's been a long time since I've cried like this
Back long before we even met somehow I knew the sound of your voice when you first said
Those words in the classroom and when you harassed me I was glad because it was from you
Before I even knew
And I'm not having fun because you're not here with me
three more years-six more days to go until I see you again and here I sit alone
one more time around it's not time for me to go let me wallow just this once
and drown my sorrows in this glass
so I try to get my mind off her but it's not working tonight
I wait for her letters and dream we're together one more time
I can't remember the last time because it's been a long time since I've cried like this
Back long before we even met somehow I knew the sound of your voice when you first said
Those words in the classroom and when you harassed me I was glad because it was from you
Before I even knew

This is a really good song. I think it's kinda weird how the day I hear it, I cry and then I heard the "it's been a long time since I've cried like this " line.
And yeah, sbailey85, people like that piss me off a lot too.
round here makes me cry too, all about hope and how it all gets squeezed out of us because people dont see beyond whats in front of them, their prejudice. Shame
