Story behind the song
It's about some guy I knew who started out on the road to success but ended up watching on the shore as his ship passed by. He waved. And then he blew his brains out. But that part isn't in the song.
Lyrics
He called it quits
Just before his ship went sailing by
How could he know that
This was the ride he'd been waiting for?
Everything always ended up in disappointment
Why should this have been any different
Than before?
He closed the door
And locked himself in
And watched as the time of his life
Slipped away
He would fight the fight
He would hold his own
He would be creative in the battle zone
He was tough as nails
He was sensitive
But it wore him down
And his life began to dim
Now he wears the scars of all
The years that slipped away
He thinks he's lost everything
He ever thought he was living for
A wife and kids, happiness?
They take the place of fame
He must open up his eyes
And see what the new new world has in store
And let go of the past
Enjoy his life
And watch as the rest of his life
Starts today
He would fight the fight
He would hold his own
He would be creative in the battle zone
He was tough as nails
He was sensitive
But it wore him down
And his life began
Now he wears the clothes
Of a different man
And his search continues to understand
Why he fell as he came to the finish line
Maybe now is where he was supposed to be
All the time
