I'm kicking that stone
Down your street alone
And the walls criticize where I have gone
I'm throwing that stone
Through your open door
And the halls seem to tell me I am wrong
[Chorus]
I'm taking the long way home
Where everything's overgrown
Just like the boy
Trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow
I'm taking the long way home
Whatever may come and go
Just like the boy
Trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday
Remember that wall
Where we used to hide
And the world seemed so dark and cold outside
Remember that field
Where we used to kiss
And the rain washed away our secret list
[Chorus]
Nobody's home
And I feel lost inside
There's a clock counting down what's left of time
When you're all alone
It's easy to hesitate
Like a girl listening to her heart break
Down your street alone
And the walls criticize where I have gone
I'm throwing that stone
Through your open door
And the halls seem to tell me I am wrong
[Chorus]
I'm taking the long way home
Where everything's overgrown
Just like the boy
Trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow
I'm taking the long way home
Whatever may come and go
Just like the boy
Trying to give it away
I regret tomorrow
I regret tomorrow more than yesterday
Remember that wall
Where we used to hide
And the world seemed so dark and cold outside
Remember that field
Where we used to kiss
And the rain washed away our secret list
[Chorus]
Nobody's home
And I feel lost inside
There's a clock counting down what's left of time
When you're all alone
It's easy to hesitate
Like a girl listening to her heart break

"Nobody's home
And I feel lost inside
There's a clock counting down what's left of time"
Going back to saying things that could have happened, should have happened, and things that did happen, regardless, time is counting down, and we all must keep constantly moving with our lives.
"I regret tomorrow more than yesterday"
I feel that person is wishing that the memories that were created would last forever, but this is not speaking about LOVE specifically, but rather more, just having a good time.
"Just like a boy trying to give it away." Would be the ex boosting about their night together.
"I'm throwing that stone Through your open door And the halls seem to tell me I am wrong" She isn't happy what happened but she went to him so she is at her own fault.'
Life shouldn't be looked at always in the past, prepare yourself for what may come, "i regret tomorrow more than yesterday."
"im kicking that stone down your street alone and the walls critisize where i have gone." Kind of like you're doing something helpful for a friend and others dont agree with what you're doing, even the friend/lover doesnt give you the appreciation you deserve maybe.
The song makes me see life as a whole, and how it moves so quickly from childhood into adulthood.
We all want to return to earlier more "innocent" times, but life moves on and eventually ends.
trying to give it away"
Is she talking about a boy trying to lose his "virginity"? That's cute.
