Here Without You Lyrics - 3 Doors Down

The song was written by Brad Arnold, Matt Roberts, and Bobby Schneck, and was inspired by a friend of Arnold's who was in the military. The song tells the story of a man who is away from his love, longing for her and expressing how hard it is to be without her. The emotional ballad has become one of 3 Doors Down's signature songs and has been featured in multiple films and television shows.

{Verse No. 1}
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

The first verse is about the longing and loneliness one feels when separated from a loved one. It's been a hundred days since the last time the singer saw the face of the person they love, and a thousand lies have made them colder and more distant. Despite the physical distance between them, they still feel close when they dream of the person's face. This conveys the powerful emotions of love that can survive even the longest of separations.

{Chorus}
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 chorus of the song is about missing someone and longing for their presence even when they are not around. The singer is expressing that despite the physical distance between them, the person is still present in their thoughts and dreams. It is a reminder that even when we are apart, our loved ones still occupy a special place in our hearts. The message of the song is that true love transcends physical separation.

{Verse No. 2}
The miles just keep rolling
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

The second verse is about the journey of life and how it can be overwhelming at times. The miles represent the struggles and hardships that life can bring, but despite this, we can still find joy and hope in the world. The people leaving their way to say hello symbolize the connections and relationships we make with others, and how these relationships can give us strength, even when times are tough. The lyrics suggest that, although life can be difficult, it can also be beautiful and meaningful.

When it's all said and done
It gets hard, but it won't take away my love
Whoa, oh, oh
