to me this song is the narrator being preached at by one of those know-it-all types who is making her feel like she's an idiot for not behaving the same way they do. they're talking about all of the ways she's in the wrong, all the while not even touching on the things that they have done wrong themselves, and she's like "I get it, you think those things are what's wrong with me, but I have no idea what the fuck your problem is, and I wish you'd just come over and explain THAT!"<p><b><i>Edited by delial on May 28 2008, at 02:26AM</i></b></p>
I somewhat agree with delial, but i believe that this song is referencing a father-figure. I came to this conclusion based off the first verse.

"If you're scared and it shows
Because you're watching them grow
And travelling blows when you're out of road
And when you jump up, the earth wants you back"

This reminds me of an senior citizen father who travels the country in an RV with his step wife in their retirement. While traveling the father begins to realized that his children have all grown up. He begins to regret the mistakes...

He begins to regret the mistakes that he made while his children were young and now his kids resent him for it, thus not contacting him that is why he is all alone.
The narrator is reminiscing about all of the things that bothered her about her father. Towards the end of the song the narrator realizes that she misses her father, this is emphasized in the lines-
"I have no idea what's going on lately
And I just wish you would come over and explain things"
Although she doesn't formally ask her father to come explain things, I think at the end of the song he show up to see her. I think that he might even want to move in with her and try to work but as the lyrics state-
"And why do they do it? They show up anyway
When they know that damn well
There's no room for promotions out here"
to me this song reminds me a lot of my grandfather, he was always hard on me as a child, which lead me to resent him. now in his old age he is trying to reconcile things with me. It is tough to forget the things that happened in the past.
