Lyrics
Another exit on the freeway
Expressing another point of departure on the journey.
Another bridge I cannot bear to cross alone
Feeling unable to face a particular bridge alone.
And I've been on the mend
Recovering from a difficult situation.
I've been getting ready to change my name again
Preparing to change one's name again, possibly indicating a desire for a fresh start.
And once I had a love so fair
Recalling a past love that was once beautiful and fair.
Once I had a reason to keep on
Having had a reason to continue, but it seems lost.
Left a paragraph taped up on my door
Leaving a note explaining the decision to not return home.
It said don't wait up 'cause I ain't comin' home
Explicitly stating the decision not to come home.
So I've been driving far and wide to find my call in life
Searching extensively for one's purpose or calling in life.
Been looking for a place where I belong
Seeking a place where one can truly belong.
I guess a little pain never killed anyone
Suggesting that a bit of pain is a common experience.
I guess I feel that way again
Revisiting a feeling of pain or struggle.
I can't come clean, I cannot stay
Unable to be honest or confess something.
Got no reason to explain
Declaring a lack of obligation to explain oneself.
I've been here too long, I need a change
Expressing a desire for change after being in a situation for too long.
And I hope you'll understand
Hoping for understanding from others.
Stained glass window never gonna carry my name
Stating that a stained glass window will not memorialize the speaker.
Been laid to rest in a field of sticks and stones
Being buried in an unremarkable place.
And above my head all that's left are footsteps
Reflecting on the remnants left behind, possibly regrets or memories.
Of some kid too young too far away from home
Referring to the footsteps of a young person who was too far from home.
So don't send me invitations to your big parade
Rejecting invitations to celebratory events.
Place of residence unknownIn my eyes there is no compromise
Indicating an unknown place of residence and a lack of compromise.
There is no calm before the storm
Emphasizing the absence of peace before a difficult situation.
These things happen all the time
Accepting that challenging events happen frequently.
Should I throw myself from the hanging tree'
Pondering the idea of self-destructive actions, represented by a hanging tree.
Is there a place for those of us who don't belong' I haven't found it yet
Questioning if there is a place for those who feel like they don't belong.
