I wonder if I cheated all the things That have been mistreated in your life. And maybe I just planted a view That could've 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. I'll probably never be to as many places I've seen in my mind. And I know that if I sit here and grin Then maybe it'll be all right. 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.
