this song is about observing a failing relationship. it is written from the perspective of a friend trying to offer advice and perspective. it is not written with a specific person or situation in mind, but is more generally about that situation which most people end up in, whether as the friend offering advice or the one in the failing relationship itself.

lyrics

looking for salvation
in all the wrong places
look inside her heart you'll see
the woman that she's trying to be

you were just an afterthought
waste not, want not
talking out of earshot
she can't tell who you really are

standing in the gentle rain
bare feet on the rough terrain
you're tired of telling her
what she's worth to you

you claim you really really tried
but you are living separate lives
she's no longer by your side
but your hands are tied

looking through the hourglass
watchin all the time pass
this wasn't in your forecast
I can't tell you how sorry he is

filled with childlike wonder
just listen to her thunder
she's storming through the house
but you can't hear her cries

things aren't just black-and-white
he could be your mr. right
don't tell me the truth about it
i don't wanna hear you fight

find the one who really loves you
someone you can trust who...
isn't afraid to say how he really feels

someone who treasures you every day
x2

tell me how he really feels
you're keeping your eyes peeled
for a sign to stay for a sign to stay
for a sign to wait

wait for him to understand
why she gets so out of hand
you're the one who really gets it
you're so perfect she can't even stand

to go one day without you
till one day you outdo
the man she loves, the man she loves
you're the one she really wants

someone who treasures you every day
x2
