Lyrics

Hey Jack it's me.

Addressing Jack, initiating conversation.

I don't mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind.

Expressing concern about something important.

At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will be reached in a matter of miles.

Describing a journey's end approaching.

And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the fences will grow higher than redwood trees.

Metaphorically depicting obstacles and challenges.

And I know your demise and I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me, to flow under me.

Anticipating difficulties ahead, fearing the unknown.

Oh, Jack you see.

Seeking Jack's understanding and empathy.

I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my hair.

Feeling a connection to Jack, comparing experiences.

When the wheels ceased to spin and I cased my surroundings, I realized I hadn't gone anywhere.

Realization of stagnation despite apparent movement.

When the problems I'd left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever claim.

Referencing unresolved issues left behind.

And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and rotten remains when I got home,

Struggling to deal with the aftermath of the unresolved problems.

when I got home,

Repetition emphasizing the impact of returning home.

when I got home.

Hey Jack it's me.

Reiteration of attempting to communicate with Jack.
