This song is about the contrast between what two different people wish they could have for just one day. The man who spends his nights in california "watching the stars on the big screen" (or watching the celebrities at the movies)"obviously leading a simple life without very much accomplishment. "Then he lies awake and he wonders, Why can't that be me" basically saying if they can do it why cant I? he looks up to me and asks (asking god in my opinion)that for just one day he could live in those shoes of someone who matters.

"And all she wants is just
A little piece of this dream,
Is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed,
On a quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
Hold onto, that�s all she needs"
Unlike the man this girl plays an important role in society and is constantly receiving attention. And she wishes the exact oposite of the man. to be normal and to have something to hold onto rather than than be a star on the bigscreen. Great Song!!!
Anyone have a song meaning to this?
