Even though the singer has been hurt by this person, (as shown by the title and repetition of the phrase, "Don't be there,") the truth is that the singer really does want this person in their life, despite everything, and even if they're been put through a lot because of him/her. You don't want this person in your life because of the pain he/she caused, but at the same time, you love him/her.
ok, yeah again this song is sooooo underrated, its awesome! prolly one of my favorite switchfoot songs, and ive heard em all, specialy once you read the lyrics, sooo meaningful, seems to me like a desperation call to God sayin somethin to the effect of "Hey, if you are up there, then could you help? cause im doubtin right now:(" and of course, they are christians, i could just listen to this song a million times over
strangely...there was a recent point in my life where EVERY lyrics related to something going on in my life...I couldn't believe it, but this song saved my life...I actually owe my whole life to this song!!!!!
LMAo i luv the whole legend of chin think if u guys know why they called themselevs that XD then u might find it funny lol i dunno persoanlly do and ofocurse theyre awesome like everythign other sogn they do but i think i perfer the name Switchfoot over legend of chin although both are Awesome =]

Such an emotional song. I remember listening to this song back in college and getting depressed. But yes, it's a good song. Classic Switchfoot.

Switchfoot music is so good because it actually moves you. Songs like this make me almost cry because they're so deep and emotional.
