Song meaning
In September 2000, Nine Days guitarist explained the meaning of "If I Am" in an interview with MTV Radio:
"[The song] is about having patience...It's about two people in a relationship and one person wants all these things, like marriage, commitment, the whole nine yards. And the other person is kind of saying, 'Just have some patience. It will all come, but I can't do this right now. Just wait for me,' you know....Basically it's [about] two different people in two different places [in the relationship]...and the one person is saying, 'Just wait for me. I will be there and we will have all of this, but just have the patience."
