while you was gone you must have done a lot of favors
you've got a whole lot of things i don't think
that you could ever have paid for
while you've been busy crying
about my past mistakes
i've been busy trying to make a change
i made a change
i've been riding with the ghost
i've been doing whatever he told me
i've been looking door to door to see
if there was someone who'd hold me
i never met a single one who didn't see through me
none of them could love me if they thought they might lose me
unless i made a change
see i ain't getting better. i am only getting behind
i am standing on a crossroad trying to make up my mind
i'm trying to remember how it got so late
why every night pain comes from a different place
now something's got to change
i put my foot to the floor
to make up for the miles i've been losing
see i'm running out of things
i didn't even know i was using
and while you've been busy
learning how to complain
i've been busy learning
how to make a change
i made it (almost) (again)
