Lyrics

The stones that I throw

The narrator acknowledges throwing metaphorical "stones" in life, possibly mistakes or challenges.

Lay all around out there

The consequences of the narrator's actions are evident and surround them.

I'm done making trouble

The narrator expresses a desire to stop causing problems or difficulties.

Think I need a plan

Feeling the need for a plan, the narrator recognizes the importance of direction in their life.

To get me to somewhere

The plan is seen as a means to reach a better place or state of being.


So the lines we follow

Reflecting on life's paths, the narrator contemplates the choices and directions they follow.

Will try to figure out, to figure out which way we go

The narrator emphasizes the uncertainty in determining the right path and the struggle to figure it out.

I won't beg steal or borrow

The commitment not to resort to desperate measures or unethical actions to achieve goals.

Or find another spark within a heart I used to know

The narrator rejects the idea of finding inspiration in a past love or experience.


I tread the rubble

Navigating through challenges and difficulties, possibly from past experiences.

It's been a while out here

Time has passed since facing hardships, implying growth or change.

These roads that I roam

The narrator reflects on the paths they've taken, seeing them as opportunities for progress.

Feel like my ticket to somewhere

The roads traveled are viewed as a means to reach a better future.


So the lines we follow

Reiterating the theme of uncertain paths and the quest for direction in life.

Will try to figure out, to figure out which way we go

The struggle to figure out life's direction is restated with determination.

I won't beg steal or borrow

A reaffirmation of ethical conduct and a rejection of shortcuts to success.

Or find another spark within a heart I used to know

The narrator resists finding solace or inspiration in past emotions or connections.


Keep me still for a little while

A plea for tranquility and stability in the midst of life's uncertainties.

For a little while

The request for a temporary respite, a pause in the constant motion of life.

Keep me still

A continuation of the plea for stillness and peace in the narrator's life.

Maybe I've chased too many lines

An admission of possibly pursuing too many different paths or interests.

Run too many times

Acknowledging the exhaustion from running or pursuing various endeavors.

So keep me still

A plea for a moment of calm and stability in the narrator's life.


So the lines we follow

A repetition of the theme of searching for the right path and direction in life.

Will try to figure out, to figure out which way we go

Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to determine the correct course of action.

I won't beg steal or borrow

Restating the commitment to ethical behavior and rejection of shortcuts in life.

Or find another spark within a heart I used to know

The narrator remains resistant to finding inspiration in a past heartbreak or connection.
