I was on tour for many moons and had a wonderful man in my life. I wanted to see the things that he did at the same time, but life just wasn't having it and it eventually ended.

Lyrics
I wonder if I cheated all the things that have been mistreated in your life.
And maybe I just planted a view that could have been quite slanted, how can I win?
You travel more than me and have seen so many things I've seen and so much more. I feel the need to follow only for the words I swallowed if I ever believed.
Chorus:And you're waiting by the door. And I can see from a mile away your roots have thorns.
And you're waiting by the door.
Verse:I'll probably never be to as many places I've seen in my mind. And I know that if I just sit here and grin then maybe it'll be alright. Though I know my story will go well with all your glory, I feel it just the same. I realize, I never really knew about that anyway.
Chorus:And you're waiting by the door. And I can see from a mile away your roots have thorns. And you're waiting by the door.
