lyrics

You live just down the road
I wave to you on days back home
And early mornings to the same old place
To do the same old things

You always said I'd make it big
That I'd find my light one day
I've been standing in this hallway of open doors
Twenty-four years and I've always stayed
Nothing really good seems to change

And I wanna make you proud
I wanna see you smiling down
But I ain't too sure that you'd like the man I am now
Or the man I'm trying to be
Why isn't it all a little easier to see

Oh, I lost my fighting bones
Someone came and broke me open
Now I'm picking up the pieces

You live just down the road
I talk to your gravestone now and then
