This song is really really good. One correction though, the "All forces left..." line should be "I'll force a laugh to break the silence."
Also, "I'm at as I've always been" sounds kind of awkward, and I know it sounds like that's what he says in the song, but to me it seems more like he's saying "I'm-a as I've always been..." and "She's-a lost in this..." which is probably just as awkward sounding and definitely more Italian sounding but hey....who knows. Still a great song by a great band. Def touches on feelings of longing for someone you'll probably never have the chance to attain. In my opinion the character's singing about someone he's never been with but has always admired, and he's finding himself in a position where they are alone together and he's dying to say something but can't, and now he's kind of lamenting that fact. Hence the "it's a dream, but there's a real world waiting" line. He knows he can't dwell on fantasy and regret forever. It's kind of a sad song if you think about it that way, but it's also kind of inspiring because he knows sometimes it's just nice to have that someone to long for, even if you know you'll never get them.
