Here Without You(Bon
3 Doors Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I've 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
They disappear now when I'm dreamin' 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-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 (yeah), and anywhere I go (yeah)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love (yeah)
And when the last one falls (oh-oh) when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa, oh-oh

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-oh, oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down is a ballad about a man who is separated from his loved one, with whom he has spent a hundred days. The singer, who is now older, has become colder because of the lies that have been told to him, which he believes might change the way he looks at his partner. In the first verse, the miles that have separated them disappear when he dreams of his partner's face. Despite the separation, the lyrics evoke the singer's longing for his loved one, whom he thinks and dreams about all the time. However, he finds solace in the fact that even though he is not physically present with her, she is still with him in his dreams.


The second verse is a reflection of the mundanity of life and its intrinsic difficulties, such as the miles that separate loved ones, people leaving, and the overratedness of life. In the chorus, the singer reinforces his longing for his partner, who is constantly on his mind even though they are separated. But despite the distance, the singer knows that his love for his partner will not diminish.


Overall, the song is a contemplation on love, distance, and the power of dreams to bridge the gap that separates loved ones. It speaks to the human condition of longing and how, even when love is not physically present, it endures.

A hundred days have made me older

Since I saw you last, I haven't been the same person.


A thousand lies have made me colder

All of the lies have made me skeptical and I don't know if I can trust again.


But all the miles that separate
Even though we're physically apart, my love for you is strong.

This must've been the quickest and easiest mix I've ever done, just a simple A [instrumental] VS B [vocals].
Turning Adele's very latest single from a piano ballad to a rock ballad. What do you all think?

@Gail Jones I fully agree. When she sings it gives me goosebumps automatically - she could sing three blind mice and that would still happen. lol

But mixing it with "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down = TRIPLE the amount of goosebumpies for me. :) xo
