lyrics

ALL BEHIND ME NOW
The road’s wide open. My heart’s wide
open. My mind’s wide open. The words I’ve
spoken are all behind me now. Your heart’s
been broken. My heart’s been broken. The
doors are closed and, like some twisted
joke, it’s not funny, but everybody just
keeps laughin’ anyhow, and then you turn
to me and say, “Hey, did you hear the one
about how you’ll be hidin’ the rain behind
your old sunglasses and still ridin’ this train
after my station passes? Bye. And, how I’ll
put all of my thoughts into a new straw
hat and say, ‘I don’t have to care,’ and
leave you there with that, and, you’ll think
that it was all just a lie, or that I forgot the
punch line somehow, or, ha, maybe I just
didn’t tell it right.” And, right here, right
now, in these days, I’m not scared, I’m not
lost, I’m not helpless, I am the source of
my own strength, and I, I just can’t cry for
you anymore. So, go on and get you that
“Wild Strawberry” tattoo on your neck.

I mean, ok, what the heck. Like most other
things, it can no longer mean to me what
it would have meant to me before. And,
just keep pourin’ your pain into your
bourbon glass, and take the pictures you
framed down off of your walls at last, and
cry. Remember, you showed me how you’re
never comin’ back and you’re not leavin’
your key under your old doormat. And,
then you said to me, “It’s ‘cause you never
tried. You never tried. You never tried. You
never tried. You never... tried.” And, it’s such
a sad, sad, day, when all the things that
used to heal you can no longer heal you.
And, beyond that, well, I guess that I’ve
just got nothin’ more to say, except that,
I have finally found my self, beyond the
sorrow and the blame, deep in the silence.
Like nobody chasing nothing. Like a ghost
facing the darkness with just a whisper no
one can hear. Like, while I’m standing here,
no one can see me anyway, hidin’ the rain
behind my old sunglasses and still ridin’ this
train. Each time your station passes, I say,
“Bye.” You’ve still got all of your thoughts
up in your new straw hat. And no, you don’t
“have to care.” Yeah, I will give you that. But
you said that you did. And you did, for such
a long time. For such a long time. For such
a long, long, time. And now, the road’s wide
open. My heart’s wide open. My mind’s
wide open. The words I’ve spoken are all
behind me now. Yeah, the road’s wide
open. My heart’s wide open. My mind’s
wide open. The words I’ve spoken are all
behind me now. They’re all behind me now.
