Possibly one of the most brilliant Goo Goo Dolls songs ever. Really!
It's about depression, about being alone, and the lyrics are pretty straightforward about it. Being by yourself sucks, and sometimes it feels like you've got nowhere to go. The most frustrating thing is trying to understand it all.
But the brilliance in the song is the melody. The dynamic of the verses compared to the chorus really conveys the mix of discontent and anger that comes from the lyrics. The verses are very easy-going, as if the feelings being shared were irrelevant to everyone else. Once the chorus comes, the feelings turn to anger.
Amazing song. Should've been on Volume 2, and it needs to see the light of day at some point, because it's an absolute shame no one knows it.
