Tripped all over my friends
At once as they were starting
To unwind
Had a feeling I was losing
Cause as they moved along
I was falling far behind
I've got a frame full of
Good intentions that I
Left back at home to rot
Thought that to stay underground
And go streamline
I'd be strong
Now I know I'm not
Everyday's a week now
A search for identity
The ground below my feet
Has got the best of me
And I'm tired of always changing
I'm tired of being seen
The path is leading homeward bound
Only God knows where I've been
I got sick of all of my friends at once
As they were starting to unwind
Had a feeling I was losing
Cause as they moved along
I was falling far behind
I've got a box full of small inventions
That I left back at home to rot
Thought that to stay underground
And go streamline I'd be strong
Now I know I'm not
Many months I've been gone now
I've learned from all I've seen
Many months I've been gone now
I've learned from all I've seen
Turn around and face southward bound
This has got the best of me
I'll keep looking for an answer
Until my eyes have gone blind
I've run myself in circles
And made it through this time
With one foot on the train
I'm going back to Richmond
To wear that ball and chain
