Lyrics
Who was it who asked about the last mile mile being the hardest mile
Reflecting on the difficulty of the final part of a journey and its challenges.
Trying not to spend more time looking back
Attempting to avoid dwelling too much on the past.
There's still a bit more time looking back
Acknowledging that there is still some time spent reflecting on the past.
There's still a bit more to go
Recognizing that there is still a significant distance or time left to cover.
Can't stop measuring strike outs to home runs
Constantly evaluating failures and successes in life.
Trying to justify these compromises that have piled up and dulled my blade
Struggling to justify compromises made, which have diminished personal effectiveness.
Maybe we stayed too long didn't say enough, swing hard enough
Possibly regretting not speaking up or acting more assertively in the past.
The years just sort of ran away
Expressing a sense of time slipping away quickly over the years.
And the ones that follow won't be as fun
Anticipating that future experiences may not be as enjoyable.
I'll never love anything else the way that I loved this
Expressing a deep and unique love for something significant.
So you know its not gonna be so easy
Highlighting the difficulty of moving on from a cherished experience or relationship.
To just let go
Acknowledging the challenge of letting go of something meaningful.
But the credits they will roll
Recognizing the conclusion of a significant chapter or experience.
It's getting harder and harder
Describing an increasing difficulty in dealing with a chaotic and misguided situation.
To give too much of my body and soul to a mess overrun by morons and thugs
Feeling overwhelmed by challenges posed by individuals with negative intentions.
Who's only purpose is to break this, not hard enough to make it
Pointing out the destructive nature of some forces, not strong enough to build but only to destroy.
Fighting on their own
Observing the struggle without support from those who should be fighting alongside.
We stand bound and gagged as they pee on our rug
Feeling powerless and disrespected in the face of adversity.
The end result of not a single motherfucker willing to take the hard road
Consequence of everyone avoiding the difficult path, making it easier to witness downfall.
Makes it that much easier to watch as the
Watching the closing of an opportunity or situation.
Door swings slowly shut
Emphasizing the closure of a significant chapter or experience.
Then there are those I'll carry with me forever, live deep in my chest
Carrying lasting memories and emotions from profound experiences.
Watched as you took your last breath on that floor in Wilkes-Barre
Recalling a poignant moment, possibly of loss, in Wilkes-Barre.
The room loved you so deeply our hearts broke as you faded
Expressing deep emotions and heartbreak at the loss of someone dear.
And I can never repay the lesson you left me as we rolled outta town that night
Acknowledging a valuable life lesson learned from a significant event.
Not a thought in my head of beginnings or endings
Reflecting on a carefree mindset, living in the present without concern for beginnings or endings.
Make the most of these days while they are still unfolding
Encouraging the appreciation of the present moment as it unfolds.
Keep right on dancing while that curtain is closing
Promoting a positive and lively attitude despite the approaching end or challenges.
