You're Gonna Keep Your Eyes To The Ground

The thing about song lyrics, they can be so personal, I mean you just read them without listening to the actual song, and you know that it is so personal to the songwriter, yet somehow you get it, and relate to it. The rest of the lyrics to the song I quoted in the title of the post are:

Waiting for something to finally come around
Tell you what you knew
that you weren't wrong
and it's finally time for so long - So Long, Rilo Kiley

I mean "tell you what you knew/ that you weren't wrong" there has to be something specific behind that, but the song doesn't just flat out tell you. You just feel it with the rest of the lyrics and the music. You feel it and you know it. You've lived it.

I still look for the link between me and the songs I listen to. I think that goes away with age, and that's just a shame.
