sometimes other people can say it best. this time, it was patty griffin:

honey, i've been put through the paces
like a dog running on a track
the wheels keep on going just as fast as you get there
you don't ever get to go back
i don't really know what I'm doing
just watching myself in some play
and the actress looks like she wants to go home
and lie in a bed all day
yeah lie in a big bed all day
