pete yorn was inspired to write this song after he saw "the 6th sense" if you go to the PY website it says something about it...he applies it to his life of course, but just the idea of seeing something more about life than most people "ive shown you things that youve only dreamed of..." . One hint to this is "im wide awake...ill drop you off for saying that" Someone says to him that they are 'awake' and he is saying 'no you arent, you dont see what i see". I dont think this is a sad song though, Pete Yorn uses mood and tempo in his songs a lot to emphasis meaning...and listen to the end...sad lyrics but a hopefull feeling in the music. kinda like a "have hope, someday someone will understand you and love you for the gifts you have" message.
