You just rolled in off the plains of your own god damn crazy mind.
After all them years of running hard after something you won’t find.
We know all your jokes by now.
Know you’re gonna tell’em anyhow.
That’s just the way it is loving you, for a while anyway.
Now those walls don’t mean what they used to mean when you were young.
Back when you held it all inside you, just to keep from coming undone.
Honey I’m so tired, I’m so tired, I’m so tired now.
After all this aren’t you a little worn out too?
Like a freight train bound for glory, headed for god knows where.
We all stayed out of your way, but knew along that you didn’t even care.
Because you’d pushed on and paid no mind to all those things you’d left behind.
Just hoping that the tracks would hold, for a while anyway.
Now those walls don’t mean what they used to mean when you were young.
Back when you held it all inside you, just to keep from coming undone.
Honey I’m so tired, I’m so tired, I’m so tired now.
After all this aren’t you a little worn out too?
I know you better that you know yourself, or any of us these days.
But I don’t know the reason you still can’t change.
Because those walls don’t mean what they used to mean when you were young.
