Well, I think it's about someone who had a good relationship, but then the woman walked out on him. He wanders around, and can't help but notice her and he feels she should love him, and he's waiting for her to come back. Then he suddenly realizes that it's useless to want someone to come back to him and that in the end he can simply forget and know that the sun comes up the next day. A good song, but why the heck was it combined with a stupid driving/tired song?
It really bothers me that at least two people have complained about the second song. I really like it because of its modern feel and brilliant, creative lyrics. It's much more musically diverse and interesting than the first one. Furthermore, I think that it really belongs with the first song. In the first song, he's talking about a difficult separation, but rejoicing a little in the fact that now he's free to pursue whatever dreams or needs he has without her holding him back, and that maybe there's something better in store for him.

However, you can't just get over a breakup that quickly. The second song is conflicted--he's sad and lonely; you can hear the bitterness and anguish in his voice. But at the same time, he's always landing on his feet and has learned to love himself without needing or wanting anybody. To dismiss this song as some kind of "driving song" makes it seem as though you haven't really listened to it at all. It's about so much more than driving or being tired. It's about his whole lifestyle. No matter whether you're single or in a relationship, this song hits home. We all need to be independent and bada** like Thomas is in this song. He's celebrating himself and for once not basing his emotions on a relationship. Both of these songs are so fantastic that the first time I heard them together, I was almost afraid I had imagined them and they wouldn't be there the next time I listened to them. Even now I'm always relieved when I play the song and it's still there. Matchbox Twenty is brilliant.
