This Nickelback song is all about how you love someone no matter what, that even distance doesn’t really matter. I do think that no matter how far you maybe from the person you love, love still survives. And though it makes you lonely to think of a loved one far away from you it’s just the idea of coming home that you really looked forward to, hence the saying says, “absence makes the heart grow fonder”.
This song is also about second chances. Like if you hurt your loved ones and then you just went away to escape or deal with your pain also, and then you find out that something in your life was missing, and that you being far away was a time wasted. Then the ones you left behind was patiently waiting for your return. And so you were asking for a second chance to correct your mistakes, and that you need not to be far away from them anymore.
For me this song is in the point of view of a guy who loves someone but was unable to tell her how he feels, so the girl just went away somewhere, and then the guy was blaming himself not being able to tell her how he feels, hence “who was I to make you wait?”, maybe the girl loves him too and she is just waiting for him to admit it. But waiting for so long leaves the girl painful so she went away, leaving him with his secret. Then the guy realize that he loves her, so he was like lamenting of her being far away for so long, and that he loves her and miss her, and he is dreaming that she is there with him, and that he feels like dying if ever that he will not going to see her once again. The guy was probably asking second chance to be able to show to her that he loves her, and that he would do anything just to prove that love. And then the girl went home, and there conversation was summed up in this line:
Guy: I wanted, I wanted you to stay, Cause I needed, I need to hear you say
That I loved you, I have loved you all along
And I forgive you, for being away for far too long
Girl: So keep breathing cause I’m not leaving you anymore, believe it, hold on to me and never let me go
