Songfacts®:

Jason Wade, the singer songwriter guitarist from Lifehouse, said: "It's about my relationship with my girlfriend. There was a specific time when we felt the struggles of going through a relationship, of trying to communicate and going through all the things you go through to get to that point of real depth. I wrote the song during the most crucial time when we were either going to break up, or continue our relationship." >>>

This was the second Lifehouse single. It didn't chart on the Hot 100, in part because their debut single "Hanging By a Moment" kept getting airplay, over-saturating the band.

Jason Newsted from ZimbabweI tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to tame this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this
Damaris Leon from California I love this song a lot, it has a lot of meaning to it and a lot of emotion as well!! Over all the whole song is amazing I love it.
Lahni from Perth, AustraliaThis song is awsum!! Jason has a really great voice and the band is excellent at making love songs.
Hope from Florence, MtI really like this song. The video is kind of freaky, but it's still good. Hi Robert, by the way. Ha ha.
Robert from Mountain Lakes, NjThis is a great song by Lifehouse-probably one of their best next to "You and Me". Let's get some more comments on this one, eh?
