The second single, and title track from The Fray’s debut album.

This song is about lead singer Isaac Slade’s experience at a shelter for troubled teens. From an article in “The Sauce” Magazine:

A friend of mine was actually the president for that particular school, so he asked Joe and I to come up for one of their weekend retreats. I was paired up with one kid in particular. His story was just amazing—all the relationships that he had put at risk because of the decisions he made, and eventually losing the relationships… the cost of his lifestyle and his choices, and kind of relating them to my own life and my own stories; seeing all the relationships I’ve threatened for one reason or another. It was a really inspiring weekend.
