Some days are rocks.
Some doors are open,
Some roads are blocked.
Then fade away.
And if I never do nothin',
I'll get you back some day.
And I can't hold out forever; even walls fall down.
There's a barricade.
It keeps out the danger,
It holds in the pain.
Sometimes you cry.
Half of me is ocean,
Half of me is sky.
And I can't hold out forever; even walls fall down.
Some things go on.
And part of me you carry,
Part of me is gone.
And I can't hold out forever; even walls fall down.
Baby, you got a heart so big it could crush this town.
And I can't hold out forever; even walls fall down.
good to listen to when you feel like a bag of smashed assholes
you nailed it.
you nailed it.
Smashed,huh?
Smashed,huh?
this is one of my all time favorite songs. tom petty says so much with so little.
Just as a bit of trivia, Johnny Cash came up with the first two lines of this song. It was just something he said to Tom Petty one day.
this one of the few 'beautiful' songs I really like. The live version from wildflowers in particular.

This song is awesome. Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks...how true is that?
If you watch the video, Jennifer Aniston makes a short appearance!
I like how there's a lot "this is this, but that is that" in this song. It shows how nothing is 100 percent. You can have you ideas and principles and rules, but there's always shades of grey and exceptions. You never really know what's going on in life. You see nice things like "golden sundowns," but then they "fade away" and you have to deal with that. Then you have the walls which are supposed to be inpentatrable and permanant, but they fall down, too. So it's kind of a good thing that nothing lasts, because even the bad things don't.
I guess I read a lot into it, but I think that makes sense if you want to take it that way.
