Unwell Lyrics

All day
Staring at the ceiling

   "The song is about a person who claims to not be crazy even though they're suffering from various occurrences that could lead them to be labeled as such. Rob Thomas states on the live DVD Show: A Night in the Life of Matchbox Twenty that he wrote the song to be a metaphor for humanity in general, a song for people who are "fucked up and feel alone like that. We all feel a little fucked up sometimes... you're not alone.""

   Hey I actually read somewhere that this, like 3am, was a reference to his mother's cancer. I wish I remembered where it was so I could cite it, but it seems that her symptoms made her a little "unwell".

   This song is about falling in love for the first time.... He's scared to fall!
   and everyone thinks he's crazy but he isn't and he lost his mind over a girl. He's crazy over a girl!

   I'd say more like insomnia. Chronic fatigue syndrome you're always tired and sleeping.. So my interpretation would be him having insomnia,. In a daze..I don't thing Rob Thomas has CFS I think he has insomnia..
