I'm not sure what this song means...it goes from one direction to the next, but I think the closest thing to what I think is what's posted by livetheemolife...I think he's trying to help someone with their problems but they just won't listen...like when he says, "I've been here before, but only by myself" I think he's trying to help someone else through something that he himself has been through, but by himself and he's trying to tell them that being through it with someone there to help you is easier than to go through it by yourself, "I said it out loud over and over but it did not help," it seems like he was reaching out for help but no one was there to help him and he doesn't want his friend to go through the same thing he had to. It seems as if he could see this friend heading in this direction and that if he/she ever got in this situation that he'd be there for them, "Just so I can hear you I stay up as late as it takes, as long as it takes." I don't know if that's anything along the line of what you guys were thinking, but that's what I got out of the song...and in the meantime, "Just Watch the Fireworks." :)
