i agree with ya coinxoperatedxgirl. this is very un-tle like, but i still love it!!! i reckon its about a guy who leaves home"so you left the home you never had", where he probably didn't belong. he is just leaving his life behind him "and you hitched a ride into the unknown, forgot your adress and your mobile phone"
then he asks himself if anyone back home would worry about him going and remember him. the chorus "theres nobody putting you down, just spending your life hanging around, theres nobody putting you down, But you're draggin' your life on the ground" is about how he is free from others pressuring him to down things, but as a consequence, he doesn't do anything, not really doing anything for himself.
then the beginning of the secong verse is probably about a fight he had with his family, and him looking back on his old life a seeing it wasn't that bad. i'm a bit confused by the chip on your shoulder bit, but i think that his leaving home affects him, and it just keeps getting worse. but then again, there is no one putting him down.
thats my take on it. i LOVE this song. it is one of those songs that make me smile when i listen to it, even though it isn't about something particularly happy.
