But there's a definite dark undertone to the lyrics, which Matchbox Twenty totally cashed in upon. I like it!

Yes, I agree. Lindsey claims that he meant finding joy and never going back to that pain again. I don't think the lyrics necessarily say that. Matchbox Twenty says never going to put myself in a position to be hurt again and their arrangement has a detached, robotic tone that brings that sentiment to life. I like hearing the hard shell that forms when you've been hurt once too often. I like Rob's voice. I want Lindsey to work with him.
