I think this song is about trying to love someone who's lost the one they love.
I think the girl in the song had her boyfriend or maybe it is as literal as her newly wed husband pass away.
I think she dreams of him and tells herself he's still alive, she can still be with him.. His death isn't a
reality to her.
"I love you he said, her husband she recently wed
she dreams this while she's wide awake"
The boy singing wants her to stop because it does no good for her. Living in denial isn't helping, she's stuck
on the past and she'll never heal if she doesn't accept what's happened and stops dreaming as though it didn't.
And there's the boy singing, right in front of her, wanting to help her and take her pain away.. He loves her
deeply and he knows they could make one another happy, he knows she's everything he wants and that he could
take care of her..
"Make life what I'm dreaming, all in just one night"
He asks, "Why, oh why can't I" throughout all the song.. Why must he live in the shadow of another who has
passed away. Why can't she let him make her happy. He has an absolutely perfect vision of them happy together,
but she's got all these barriers.
The line that really makes me feel the boy is singing to a girl with a lost lover is, "people twice my size,
and all the times for second tries" He's feeling as though he will never be able to fit the shoes of her lost
love, they are too big to fill, she won't let him. He tries again and again and she can't let go of him, she
acts as though she'll get another chance with him, that he'll come back if she waits long enough.
He tells her it feels good to let go, to let yourself not be sad everyday anymore.. To enjoy life because you're
living it anyway..
This guy she pines for "lives above the skies" and he wonders why he can't be more like him, maybe if he were
gone too she'd miss him.. She'd long for him..
Maybe all this is a stretch, and I could be biased.. I lost my boyfriend and was so stuck on his loss for such
a long time I let another guy I could've made a happy life with leave, he was tired of waiting and trying to
fill bigger shoes.. Anyway, this is what I get from it.. It fits me.
