I hear a similar theme to "Life Less Ordinary" from later on the same album... he's feeling disillusioned with the life he was supposedly "born to live." I think he's saying he'll happily trade off the punk rock/touring lifestyle to someone more naive and "blind" to the "burden" that the "empire" really is. He has the life some might seek after but it's a bittersweet one riddled with drug withdrawal and depression.
