This song makes me think of a girl who lost or doesn't know her dad and she wants him to come back.
"You gotta be out there,
You gotta be somewhere...
Wherever you are, I'm waiting... "
She's waiting for her dad to come back and she won't forget about him.
"Cause there are these nights when,
I sing myself to sleep,
And I'm hoping my dreams bring you close to me...
Are you listening?"
This part means that she wishes her dreams about him will come true so she doesn't have to be lonely without him. She sings herself to sleep (with songs like this one) and they cause her to (normally) dream about him.
"I used to be scared of
Letting someone in...
But it gets so lonely being on my own
And
No one to talk to
And
No one to hold me
I'm not always strong,
Oh, I need you here
Are you listening? "
That verse tells me that she's pushed out the world but now she needs her dad ("Oh, I need you here, Are you listening?") She wants him to hear her plea for him to come back.
"I need someone to understand" means that she needs someone to comfort her and to know what she's going through -- no one else in her family understands her and she's hoping that her dad will.
