Cover art for From Where You Are lyrics by Lifehouse

When I hear this song, I think of my parents. I lost them when I was younger. This song hits home.

"So far away from where you are These miles have torn us worlds apart And I miss you, yeah I miss you" -We are worlds apart...

"I'm standing underneath the stars And I wish you were here" -I'm in love with the stars. My dad bought my first telescope. He showed me where the big and little dippers were. Every time I look up at the night sky, I think of him and my big red telescope.

"I miss the years that were erased" -I wish I would have had more years to share with them

"I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face" -We always made impromptu trips to the beach. My parents loved it with a passion. My mom loved to fish. She always came back with a cooler of fish, and I always came back with a sunburn.

"I miss all the little things" -...like laying on my mom's lap watching tv or playing Frisbee outside with my dad

"I never thought that they'd mean everything to me" -You don't know what you have until it's gone

"Yeah I miss you And I wish you were here" -Understatement of the year
