Story Behind The Song

Song about falling in love with someone who doesn't return your feelings in the same way as you, of feeling directionless, not knowing how the other person really feels, and trying to move on

Song Description

Separation

Lyrics

He had no direction, looking for something
He couldn't find.
Trying to ease a little lady, who pressed on his mind,
He didn't have nothing, just what he stood up in
But, hey that's all right.
Just hope and ambition, cut down by attrition,
And kept in his pocket alive.

Hey, take it easy, make my life a breeze,
With a flick of her head, she can do me some damage,
So darlin' don't do it please.
Hey, I try to be better, my minds kind of ok,
At the end of the summer, she's crossing an ocean,
And going on home to stay.

She was quite a woman, beautiful lady, of that there's no doubt,
Complicated, she carried her demons, and it didn't work out.
Uncertain and distant, close and resistant, I never could tell,
But no matter what, when it comes to the wire, I know her so well.

Hey, take it easy, make my life a breeze,
With a flick of her head, she can do me some damage,
So darlin' don't do it please.
Hey, I try to be better, my minds kind of ok,
At the end of the summer, she's crossing an ocean,
And going on home to stay.

From all of lifes blows, some you recover, some they just sit on the backburner,
Some they come back, a little reminder of what's going on.
I try to be human, I don't always make it, but I do what I can.
My friends may ber few, but whatever I do, they know who I am.

Hey, take it easy, make my life a breeze,
With a flick of her head, she can do me some damage,
So darlin' don't do it please.
Hey, I try to be better, my minds kind of ok,
At the end of the summer, she's crossing an ocean,
And going on home to stay.
