Here Without You - 3 Doors Down

Lirik
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face


I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time


I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah


The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh yeah yeah


I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time



I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me



Everything I know and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa



I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time



I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me, yeah oh yeah oh





Kisah Di Sebalik Lagu
Menurut penyanyi 3 Doors Down iaitu Brad Arnold, inspirasi utama bagi lagu ini adalah isterinya(kini bekas isterinya)...tetapi lagu ini bukanlah untuk bekas isterinya itu. Lagu ini adalah mengenai kehilangan atau berjauhan dari seseorang. Ianya merupakan sebuah lagu biasa mengenai kesunyian dan kehilangan, tetapi kebanyakkan dari kita menganggapnya sebagai sebuah lagu sedih(termasuklah aku). Secara realitinya ianya merupakan sebuah lagu yang menyenangkan dan menggembirakan, ini di buktikan melalui bait lirik yang berbunyi, 'I'm here without you baby, But you're still with me in my dreams, And tonight it's only you and me'. Ini bermakna lagu ini adalah mengenai mimpi dan kita berada dalam keadaan yang menenangkan kerna kita tahu bahawa akan ada seseorang menemani kita ketika kita tidur iaitu di dalam mimpi. Secara tak langsung ini membuatkan kita gembira apabila kita bangun keesokakan harinya.
