Hoobastank: The Reason Meaning

Song Released: 2003

The Reason Lyrics

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used...

   I agree with the first guy, because the second one is too obvious...thats what sucks about this sight...the people that post on do the obvious crap that you can notice from listening to...he was referring to the reason they wrote the song or where they got the idea...army commercial

   I believe this song is an apology to the U.S for talking bad about it before 9/11....if you think about it, he is realizing how good this country is. I have a feeling that Hobbastank may have gotten an idea for this song from an army commercial. Army commercials often try to get you to join in order to add "A Reason" to your life...

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Stop going wacko "Einstein" All this guy is trying to say is that the reason every single thing that happens to him is because of his ex-girlfriend. He wishes that they didn't break up and that all of these crazy feelings that he needs her in his life are causing other things to happen.
   
   Take a break, Einstein, and use common sense.

   This song explains how a very special person in your life can change you..and start over a brand new life; a second chance. Like a good influence
   *I found a reason for me, to change who I used to be, a reason to start over new, and the reason is you*
   very sweet song.:)
