Miscellaneous
How to Save a Life
Step one: you say we need to talk, he walks, you say sit down it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you, you stare poiltely right on through.
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
[ The Fray Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

(Repeat twice)

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

For me this song is about couple who started well together and went off track in the end. the guy in the song did a lot of wrongs and the first person is the girl asking the guy if he will still continue what his doing and lose their relationship or not.

-Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed-

Saving a life not in literal terms but their life together. it can also be about the parent asking his son to stop his destructive ways, either drugs or bad things... she doesn't know how to save his life means she doesn't know what to do anymore. Nobody got killed in the song at least literally. but people can die without going to the grave.

at least this is how i see the song...

when i listen again maybe its about how bad decisions we make in life and in the end we need someone to blame for our own mistakes.

The song is about a relationship gone bad and the sad reality of ending a life (metaphorically ) .

Alternately my GF thinks it is about a relationship gone bad and aborting an unwanted pregnancy
