about

I wrote these lyrics after reading the liner notes to Counting Crows "August and Everything After" deluxe edition. I was sympathetic to how he was feeling, which normally I'm not...see the line in the next song "They got so far without trying..." Remember, Counting Crow were together only 3 months before they got signed.

lyrics

Someone is out there listenin' to what you said
Was it deep and meaningful or did it come off the top of your head?
Now they're hangin' on every word you sing
And you can't seem to deal with the fame that it brings
And you say to yourself "This is my last night."
"Up on this stage where I can't seem to get it right."

And the roads go on and on
As the night turns to day
And you came to hear that song that
kills us a little, when we play

You wish it was simple, but it tears you apart
To think when no one knew your name and the music was in your heart

Then one day you find yourself all alone under the stars
You just have to learn how to live and remember who you are
And that girl on the car in the parking lot, said that without you
she would have crumbled down
And somewhere in the middle of America there's a rain king without a crown
And you look to find a way out of the rain ,but you can't help drowning in her sea
And everything that happened went exactly as planned
And how it was meant to be
