Lyrics
Put my money on a pipe dream
Expressing investment in an unrealistic or unlikely aspiration
Hit the road and paid my dues
Embarking on a journey and fulfilling responsibilities
Now the pillow's cold beside me
Feeling lonely with an empty, cold bed
And there ain't much left to lose
Facing a situation with little left to lose
I thought it would be easier
Expecting life to be less challenging
I thought I could settle down
Hoping for stability and a settled life
I thought I'd find a lover
Anticipating finding a romantic partner and having children
Maybe have a couple kids by now
Reflecting on unmet expectations in terms of personal life
I take the stage, I face the song
Facing challenges on stage and in life
I find the strength to carry on
Finding strength to continue despite difficulties
My bones are weary, this road is long
Expressing fatigue from a prolonged and challenging journey
I'm letting go but having trouble holding on
Struggling to hold on while letting go of something
Can I hold up in the fire
Questioning ability to endure difficulties
Can I breathe into the burn
Wondering if it's possible to find strength in adversity
Hold the reigns a little lighter
Considering a lighter approach to control
And let the pages turn
Allowing life to progress naturally
Held by the river
Symbolic reference to stability and support
Safe in my song
Feeling secure in artistic expression
Led by the angels
Seeking guidance and protection
I'll find the dawn
Hopeful about finding a new beginning
I take the stage, I face the song
Repeated emphasis on facing challenges through art
I find the strength to carry on
Finding resilience in music and performance
My bones are weary, this road is long
Acknowledging physical and emotional exhaustion
I'm letting go but having trouble holding on
Struggling to maintain control while letting go
I take the stage, I face the song
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges through art
I find the strength to carry on
Continuing to draw strength from creative expression
My bones are weary, this road is long
Expressing the difficulty of a prolonged journey
I'm letting go but having trouble holding on
Struggling with the dichotomy of letting go and holding on
I take the stage, I face the song
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of facing challenges
I find the strength to carry on
Finding strength to endure despite the ongoing challenges
My bones are weary, this road is long
Acknowledging the weariness of the journey
Oh, I'm letting go but having trouble holding on
Struggling to maintain control while letting go (repeated)
I'm taking my blows, but I am right where I belong
Accepting difficulties but asserting belonging
Never alone, may we all keep holding on
Expressing unity and shared perseverance
