Lyrics
Here I come swinging from the same old vine
Embarking on a familiar path or routine.
Saying guess what I done it, I put it all on the line
Announcing a daring action, putting everything at risk.
I jumped from the mountain and I fell in a tree
Taking a leap of faith but encountering an unexpected obstacle.
Talked to all the people who couldn’t talk to me
Engaging with people who are unable to communicate effectively.
So give me one good reason why I should stay
Seeking justification for remaining in a situation.
Remind me of a time I had nothing to say
Reflecting on a past time when words failed.
When come the morning you’ll know I’ll be gone
Anticipating departure in the morning, leaving the current situation.
Chasing the echo of my beating drum
Pursuing the reverberations of personal conviction or passion.
I used to be someone who’d listen with a grin
Formerly someone who listened with joy, but that has changed.
And laugh at all the secrets out on the wind
Laughing at life's secrets carried by the wind.
But I’ve rolled and I’ve tumbled
Experiencing ups and downs, facing personal challenges.
I shot holes in my soul, caught my heart cheating
Undergoing emotional wounds and self-inflicted pain.
And found my head in a stove
Discovering oneself in a difficult or painful situation.
When come the morning you’ll know I’ll be gone
Reiterating the impending departure in the morning.
Chasing the echo of my beating drum
Continuing the pursuit of personal conviction or passion.
But somehow I made it and it sure took a while
Surviving hardships, indicating a lengthy journey.
I broke my pride living and I cried like a child
Overcoming pride through experiences and expressing vulnerability.
So I walk on down to the river but I run to the sea
Heading towards the river symbolically, but seeking solace in the vastness of the sea.
And I watched the sun setting, it was a thousand degrees
Witnessing a dramatic and intense sunset.
When come the morning you’ll know I’ll be gone
Reaffirming the impending departure at morning's arrival.
Chasing the echo of my beating drum
Persisting in the pursuit of personal conviction or passion.
Withholding nothing and settling some score
Sharing without reservation and addressing unresolved issues.
Kicking and screaming like never before
Expressing intense emotions and resistance like never before.
