Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Cross the water and home through the town
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet
Pretty soon I won't come around
I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly fallen to her knees
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Where all the bodies hang on the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care
I'm almost drowning in her seas
She's nearly crawling on her knees
She's down on her knees
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
I'm just another rider burned to the ground
I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly crawling on her knees
It's almost everything I need
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
Cross the water and home through the town
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet
Pretty soon I won't come around
I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly fallen to her knees
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Where all the bodies hang on the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care
I'm almost drowning in her seas
She's nearly crawling on her knees
She's down on her knees
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
I'm just another rider burned to the ground
I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly crawling on her knees
It's almost everything I need
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees

It just makes me think of the frailty of those times, and though I know it's not what the song's about or anything, it just brings back one of the better memories of my early 20s.
Thanks for sharing that, I like seeing others memories about these songs.
Thanks man. You made my day. More than you'll ever know. And you did it from 13 years ago.
'Drowning in her sea' could also be a reference to the drama from the relationship and having to deal with it.

"Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan St.
Where I'm just another rider burned to the ground
Come tumbling down "
That says it all right there. By far, the best song on this album, and possibly the best ouf of all their albums.
Love it, but 'Hard Candy' really does it for me... it's always the associated lyrics/memories. The Rickenbacker helps.
