NOTES
I was hoping to articulate some of the unintended consequences of growing up in this song. A lot of my songs are about individual relationships or insights into a personal philosophy, but this one concerns a relationship with people in the outside world and certain expectations. It's one of the truest lyrics I've written. Also check out the guitar solo, it sounds that way thanks to our killer ax-man Carl and our drummer Fred, who is constantly forcing us to think outside the box even when it's not his instrument.

LYRICS

Waiting on the wheel

Floating in the harbor

The sun is rising high

Though summer’s wasting away

Feeling like a stone

Drinking on a Sunday

I’m filling up my mind with nothing

I found this broken home

Along the open water

My banner waving high

Through all the weather I survived

And I returned in no parade

A sinking anchor, broken chain

Now I’m washed up

In the shore of my own weight

The more that you know

The more that it’s nothing

And where can I find that feeling of home?

Well isn’t it the same?

Yes, I received your postcards

But I cannot relate

Though I can’t throw them away

Cause I don’t know what to say

The wind carried me the right way

I’m right but I am wrong in some way

Cause the more that you know

The more that it’s nothing

The more that you wind up being alone

And all that I’ve shown

Must lead to something

But where can I find that feeling of home?

Waiting on the wheel

Drinking into Monday

This ship will find the current someday

But all that I know

And all that I’ve suffered

Has only arrived at being alone

In all that I’ve shown

I’ve believed in something

But where can I find that feeling of home?
