All this talk of fire, of gumption and direction Leave you reaching for some kind of resurrection as to Who you thought you were and who you thought you'd be They'll say it's the trying not the being, the journey not arrival But all I'm seeing's discouraging reprisals Of every mistake I've made and all the things I'll never be And every version of me I tried so hard not to miss Gets stabbed and shot with the thought of someone else's kiss There's just no easy way to say That everything you thought was right was wrong today That is all, go away So go on and sing another about the drinking and fights, Cracks in the sidewalk, the darkness of night Can you still believe it'll all put you closer to the light? 'Cause yeah direction's just an arrow, not a place to reside Though "home is where you find it" and "time is on your side" But none of that crap means squat alone on a Sunday night And every version of me I tried so hard to retain Gets swallowed and sweat out and pissed on down the drain There's just no easy way to say That everything you thought was right was wrong today Move along, 'cause you can't stay
