Five For Fighting Lyrics

What If Five For Fighting

I would the poetry side as staded by another person. I think the lyrics would give you a different meaning deoending on how you feel. I've been listening to this since its release and like you I had the same question in mind. But recently I fell in love (cheesy I know. haha) and the moment I heard this song again I felt like I understood it for the first time. I've met a man who's already with someone else. But during the short time we've spent together I fell in love and know deep inside we had something very special but I couldn't do anything about it. I can only wish and dream we could be together.

"Threw a line out to pull you to me ----> I made a move and entered his life without the intention to

If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it " pull him away from his peaceful family life

"You made your mind up before you knew me I've met him now that he's already married. Certainly made

If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it his mind up long before he knew me.

"Take my hand for a minute Asking him to share a moment with me imagining how there

We’re in it, imagine all the could have been no pain (hurting his wife and family) if it had

Pain that might be forgiven." been us all along.

"Had a dream of a new tomorrow All I could do is just dream about a different future. With us

If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it" together.

"I took a step up and you might follow hoping he follows my lead and choose to be with me

If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it "

"Take a chance for a minute Asking him to take a chance with me even for a short while.

Jump in it, imagine if you Asking him to ask himself what if he has my heart

Asked yourself for a minute Basically asking what if I were in his position and he was in mine

How would we decide.

What if I had your heart?

What if you wore my scars?

How would we break down?

What if you were me and what if I were you?

What if you told my lies?

What if I cried with your eyes?

Could anyone keep us down?

What if you were me and what if I were you? "

"What if all that it took to save our lives The only thing that could probably give us the new tomorrow

Together was to rise up" with us in it together is by just meeting again in the after life.

Maybe not in this lifetime but in another.

This is how it meant for me know. and it's painful whenever I hear this song. Basically all the questions in the song is about imagining you are in the position of the other and he's in yours. How would you decide in that case.

I hope this helped.

Poetry....reminds me, at least lyrically, of John Lennon's Imagine. Every time you hear it you find different meanings.......good for them.....underrated band.
