about

Lyrically, this is about where I am in my life right now. Whether it is relationships or jobs or friendships, I seem to spend my life doing stupid things, defying logic, risking everything for no good reason and no amount of self-discipline or desire for control seems to have any impact on my decisions. I find myself getting wilder with age, life just continues to get more and more interesting, aIthought we were meant to mellow as we got older but since hitting 30 I just find myself following whatever whims and ideas pop into my head. This song reflects on that a little and the chorus is what I see in my future. I suppose at some point everything will slow down, I’ll have my Big Sur moment, and when I do I know exactly where I want to be.

lyrics

I’ve been taking you the long way around
I kind of thought that you would know by now
But once again it falls down to my restless soul
To make questionable choices on the road

Now, I’m not trying to say my love’s not real
And I’m not trying to say how bad I feel
There’s just one person I can never second-guess
And the psycho sadly occupies my head

But baby, I got a notion
That we could buy a little house by the ocean
And spend our days living in blissful meditation
I just need someone who will come with me
I needed something to believe

I hadn’t seen her since we both left school
We went our own ways and made our own rules
So when I saw her standing right next to the stage
Well I gave myself to possibility
I thought I had my life under control
Thought I possessed a truth no man could hold
I never gave you half the credit you deserve
And I swear each year I’m only getting worse
