Somethin' in yer eyes,
I can't even change it,
No matter how hard I try.
Yer expectation is torture.

Well, it's been entirely too long,
Since I up and left my home.

Grandpa wore a red bandana

You walked in

This song is about letting go of someone who no longer wants you. Even though things may not have ended in the way you hoped, you know you can move on and free yourself, and find your own destiny.
