As the son of a guitar player/singer and the younger brother of recording artist Joey DeGraw, Gavin DeGraw's destiny was set in stone. He began to take piano lessons at the early age of eight, singing with the family the whole time. In the early years, Gavin and Joey played together in a cover band, with the occasional fatherly sit in. Encouraged by his brother, Gavin began to write his own songs at the age of about 16. He then attended the popular Berklee school of music for a short time before realizing it felt "restricting".

Meaning Lyrics
Gavin DeGraw
Hail to the light, that by baby watches me.
In the darkness of the window
I can hardly get to sleep.
Wish for the hour that the nighttime soon shall pass
And the morning dew will bring us
to a day our souls can last.
Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love (yeah)
Situation: candle light,
enough to see the bits around you,
but it's never very bright.
Stare at a memory,
you, through the grapevine, heard the truth.
It's good to learn from your mistakes,
but that only works in youth.
Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love
Giving love
Giving love
Giving love
Restless minds; curtain calls follow fanfares.
Troubled hearts; just a walk down the hall.
Restless hearts; you take a punch just to land one.
Troubled minds; it's only fair after all.
Mountain, the trail, but you've got it in sight.
Somtimes the only way is jumpin'
I hope you're not afraid of heights.
Reach in my pocket, for a bill that isn't there,
And to face all of the undoings
Still isn't more than I can bear.
Chorus:
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love (Yeah)
Giving love
Giving love
Giving love
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
It's always been good to me
Love has a reason, there's a meaning to the world.
We're giving love
