Crawling Back to You- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

"I'm so tired of being tired"

In the mess of all that has happened this week, I have started thinking about my ex again.  I don't want to get too in depth or anything.  It's not like I want the whole cyber world to know what I'm writing in my diary.  But, I have to somewhat explain the reasoning for choosing the song of the day.  He broke up with me and, sometimes, I'm still reeling.

I absolutely adore this song.  I love Tom Petty, plus I love slow ballads, so its a win win.  I just think the melody is so pretty and lyrics are so vulnerable and raw.  I write songs, and it's songs like this that remind me to write exactly what I feel, and not worry about how pathetic it just may sound. 

Waiting by the side of the road
For day to break so we could go
Down into Los Angeles
With dirty hands and worn out knees

I keep crawling back to you
I keep crawling back to you

The ranger came with burning eyes
The chambermaid awoke surprised
Thought she'd seen the last of him
She shook her head and let him in

Hey baby, there's something in your eyes
Tryin' to say to me
That I'm gonna be alright if I believe in you
It's all I want to do

It was me and my sidekick
He was drunk and I was sick
We were caught up in a barroom fight
Till an Indian shot out the lights

I'm so tired of being tired
Sure as night will follow day
Most things I worry about
Never happen anyway

I keep crawling back to you
I keep crawling back to you
