Tailwind

I've done it all out of necessity
Yet still, my blues ain't your growing pains
You make a spark, the whole world's seeing stars
While any trail I leave down here quickly grows faint

But after all, I'm wading in your wake
In my mismatched shoes, the left being my debt to you
The right in your grave, but it just won't do

You've always done so well, that has been hard to take
Seeing as how I'm judged by all your mistakes
And any time I've turned around, I've found
That you're in vogue and I'm insane

But thanks for all your generosity
Honey, it don't mean that much, you're splashing it 'round
You know I'll be there on all fours, my backside reared up off the floor
Nose to the ground

But after all, you ain't no charity
Honey's got a tailwind and her wheels off the ground
Oh, more like the rocks inside your head were made to fill the holes in their's

But that's what you do, you're an excuse
Life gets away with being dull, all thanks to you
You know it's true, you know it's true
I know you do
