The band holds its roots in California, where Lifehouse's founding members first came together under the name Blyss in 1999. Blyss released a demo album entitled Diff's Lucky Day. Shortly after in 2000, the boys were signed onto a record deal with DreamWorks Records. Five of the twelve tracks from Diff's Lucky Day were re-recorded for No Name Face. This debut album went multi-platinum, standing behind the hit single Hanging by a Moment, which became the most played radio track of 2001. The song became the theme of the 2000 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, UT.
In 2002, the members of Lifehouse consisted of foreman Jason Wade, bassist Sergio Andrade, drummer Rick Woolstenhulme and Woolstenhulme's younger brother, Sean Woolstenhulme, on guitar. At this time, Lifehouse released their second album Stanley Climbfall. After a few years of touring, Sergio Andrade left the band on good terms in 2004. Sean Woolstenhulme soon followed, leaving the band to pursue personal projects.
With only Wade and Woolstenhulme remaining, Lifehouse picked up a third member, ex-AM Radio bassist/vocalist Bryce Soderberg in late 2004. The band also signed off with Geffen Records, releasing their third self-titled album in 2005. With their style of melodic rock maturing over the years, the album's feature single You and Me remained on the Billboard hot 100 chart for over 60 weeks.
Further developing their image as a band that has overcome stereotypes and endured change, the Lifehouse trio came back quickly, releasing their latest album Who We Are in June 2007. The new single First Time has since been released on radio and television.
It was announced on October 15, 2010 that the new album is called Smoke & Mirrors and would be released on December 8, 2009. However, on November 13 the band stated on its web page that Smoke & Mirrors would be released on February 2, 2010. The first single was "Halfway Gone", which was released on October 27. The Halfway Gone music video premiered on the VH1 Top 20 on VH1.com at the end of November. On December 22, Tommy2.net reported that the album had been pushed back once again, this time to February 23, 2010. The album was then delayed again, but was released on March 2, 2010. The album came in a standard, deluxe, and two-disc deluxe edition.
The album Smoke and Mirrors debuted at # 6 on the Billboard Top 200 chart with 54,203 sold. This marks the highest chart debut of their ten year career beating out first week chart position for their 2002 sophomore set “Stanley Climbfall” which debuted at # 7. On iTunes, Smoke and Mirrors was #1 on the Rock Album chart for one week. After Halfway gone, two more songs from this album were released: All In (June, 2010) and Falling In (January, 2011).
In the spring of 2010 Lifehouse toured with Daughtry and Cavo. They also did a short European tour in September, 2010. After the European tour, the US the Smoke and Mirrors tour took place (October, 2010 and November, 2010). June 11, 2011 Lifehouse stated that they are working on a new album and that they will get back in the studio in the fall. June 12 and June 13, 2011 the band played two shows in the UK. During these shows, they played a new song called 'Angeline.'

Lifehouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When will the story end
This is where I get off
I can't go there anymore
It's too hard to ignore the signs
Where does these tears come from
It feels like they'll never dry
We are strangers in a time
Where blood is our only tie
And I want you to know
That I loved you the most
And it breaks my heart to see you go
I wanted to make you proud
I wanted to see you smile
But it wasn't good enough, yeah
And I want you to know
That I loved you the most
And it breaks my heart to see you go
And I want you to know
That I loved you the most
And it breaks my heart to see you go
And when will the cycle stop
When will the story end
This is where I get off
The lyrics of Lifehouse's song You & I deal with the emotions of pain, loss, and separation. The singer is unsure about how to deal with the end of a relationship, feeling that they have reached a point where they cannot continue any further. He questions where the cycle will end and when the story will end, accepting that it's time for him to get off. He's come to realize that the relationship is toxic and is causing him too much pain. He can't keep ignoring the obvious signs that something is not right.
As the song progresses, the singer tries to come to terms with the pain of the separation. He wonders where the tears are coming from and if they will ever stop. He acknowledges that they are now strangers in this phase of life, with blood being the only tie that binds them. He wants his partner to know that he loved her the most and that it breaks his heart to see her go. The singer's emotions are transparent, as he wants the best for his partner and desired to make her proud and happy, but unfortunately, it didn't happen.
The song, You & I, is relatable to anyone who's experienced heartbreak or a broken relationship, as it speaks about the raw emotions that come with separation. The lyrics acknowledge that it is okay to feel pain, that it is okay to cry and be sad, and that eventually, the cycle will stop, and the story will end.

For my innocent beautiful mom always....
For the only girl that ever truly loved me....
She was my only friend....
She was my muse....
She was my peace....
She was my happiness....
This is always been my favourite song....
One year ago she had her life stolen from her....
This song is for you old friend....
Until we meet again.....

What day is it
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up, and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
What are the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right?
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
That I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
[Chorus]
Cause it's you and me and
All of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you
[Verse 2]
All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
[Chorus]
Cause it's you and me and
All of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you
[Bridge]
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
[Chorus]
Cause it's you and me and
All of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you
And me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you
