Seventeen years in a dead end job,
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god,
Hangin' on tight by a single thread,
Prayin' for a change.
Perfectly describes one of my Friends who has been in a dead end job for 17 years. Constantly complaining about being broke and how much he hates his job and thinking a lottery win will come his way!
Its about someone like him who's kid has grown up moved away and hes had a hefty price to pay for it all.
I love this line in the song most cos its so sad yet so beautiful:
"Sorry if I didn't see the truth, The sadness in your eyes."
His girlfriend is sad cos she hasn't seen all the pain hes been through and she also wanted to stand on her own 2 feet and have some independence.
