I wonder if I cheated all the things
That have been mistreated in your life
And maybe I just planted a view
That could've been quite slanted, how can I win?
You travel more than me and have seen
So many things I've seen and so much more
I feel the need to follow only for the words
I swallowed if I ever believed

[Chorus:]

And you're waiting by the door
And I can see from a mile away
Your roots have thorns
And you're waiting by the door

I'll probably never be to as many places
I've seen in my mind
And I know that if I sit here and grin
Then maybe it'll be all right
Though I know my story will go well
With all your glory, I feel it just the same
I realize, I never really knew about that anyway

[Chorus:]
And you're waiting by the door
And I can see from a mile away
Your roots have thorns
And you're waiting by the door
