Lyric discussion by ConfessionsofaKing 

well to me it seems like she and her guy are far apart (either broken up or in my case it's long distance). she doesn't want to face the fact she's alone, because the thought of being alone scares her. the first verse:

"I'm in this fight, and I'm swinging And my arms are getting tired I'm trying to be this emptiness but I'm running out of time I'm sinking in the sand , And I can't barely stand."

explains her struggle in this current state. she's trying to fight it but the feeling is taking over.

"I cry at night, 'cause my baby's too far, to be by my side To wipe away these tears of mine, so I hold my pillow tight To imagine you, I'll stretch your hand looking for mine."

basically, she misses him and wishes he was there with her.

The part that sums it up the most is "I'm lost in this dream , I need you to hold me I'm scared of lonely."

She wants it to be all a dream, a nightmare that will soon be over. All she needs is for him to hold her to make it all go away.
