Lyrics

I stayed in town for a while

I remained in the town for an extended period.

Watching cars pass me by

Observing passing cars as they go by.

And I'm trying not to get too high

Attempting to avoid becoming excessively euphoric or excited.

But then I realized

Realizing a certain truth or insight.


Is there only one direction

Contemplating whether there is only one specific path or course of action.

Is there only right from wrong

Questioning the existence of a singular moral or correct choice.

Got to make the right connection

Recognizing the importance of establishing a meaningful connection.

On my own

Emphasizing the need to make this connection independently.


I never said you would cry

Contradicting a previous statement about not causing tears.

But I lied, now I lied

Admitting to deception and untruthfulness.

Now he's crying just to get by

Describing someone (possibly the speaker) crying for survival.

Just to find, find out why

Expressing the motivation behind the tears, seeking understanding.


There is only one direction

Reiterating the concept of a singular direction or path.

There is only right from wrong

Reiterating the binary nature of right and wrong.

Got to make the right connection

Reaffirming the significance of establishing the correct connection.

On their own

Highlighting the individual responsibility for making this connection.


I stuck around for a while

Choosing to stay in a particular place for an extended period.

Watch the grass getting high

Observing the grass growing tall or lush.

And I try not to think for a while

Attempting to refrain from deep contemplation for a period.

But then I had to smile

Experiencing a moment of joy or satisfaction, indicated by a smile.


'Cause there's only one direction

Repeating the idea of a single, defined direction.

Is there only one way home

Pondering if there is only one specific way to reach home.

Got to make the right connection

Emphasizing the importance of establishing the correct connection, possibly related to finding one's way home.

On their own

Reiterating the individual responsibility for making this connection.
