Something's in the air tonight
The sky's alive with a burning light
You can mark my words something's about to break
And I found myself in a bitter fight
While I've held your hand through the darkest night
Don't know where your coming from, but your coming soon
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
And here we go
There's nothing left to choose
And here we go
There's nothing left to lose
So I packed my car and headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There's a fire in these hills that's coming down
And I don't know much, but I found you here
And I cannot wait another year
Don't know where your coming from, but you coming soon
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
And here we go
There's nothing left to choose
And here we go
There's nothing left to lose
I can still hear the trains out my window
From Hobart street to here in Nashville
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
And I don't know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we'll go
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
And here we go
There's nothing left to choose
And here we go
There's nothing left to lose
The sky's alive with a burning light
You can mark my words something's about to break
And I found myself in a bitter fight
While I've held your hand through the darkest night
Don't know where your coming from, but your coming soon
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
And here we go
There's nothing left to choose
And here we go
There's nothing left to lose
So I packed my car and headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There's a fire in these hills that's coming down
And I don't know much, but I found you here
And I cannot wait another year
Don't know where your coming from, but you coming soon
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I've ever known or seen
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
And here we go
There's nothing left to choose
And here we go
There's nothing left to lose
I can still hear the trains out my window
From Hobart street to here in Nashville
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
And I don't know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we'll go
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us
Come on, and we'll try, one last time
I'm off of the floor one more time to find you
Come on, and we'll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
And here we go
There's nothing left to choose
And here we go
There's nothing left to lose

"And I found myself in a bitter fight
While I've held your hand through the darkest night
Don't know where your coming from, but your coming soon
So I packed my car and headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There's a fire in these hills that's coming down
And I don't know much, but I found you here
And I cannot wait another year
Don't know where your coming from, but you coming soon"
Wikipedia says, "He attended California State University, Chico in Chico, California on an athletic scholarship and majored in literature, playing soccer until his junior year."
I could be completely wrong but does this account for the line in the fourth verse "And I cannot wait another year"? Waiting another year means graduating from the college.
As for the last verse, I think words like train, Hobart street and pomegranates represent his past, and Nashville and my window his present. The word "wind" represents his luck. So the last two lines here mean that he doesn't know where his luck will bring him to in the future.
"I can still hear the trains out my window
From Hobart street to here in Nashville
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
And I don't know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we'll go"
And I found myself in a bitter fight
When I felt your hand through the darkest night
Don't know where your coming from
But your coming soon
come on and we'll see, like we were free
push the pedal down(floor it off a cliff)
watch the world around fly by us(as your falling off the cliff)
come on and we'll try, one last time
i'm off of the floor one more time to find you(off the floor or road, as he's driving off the cliff)
if you play this song backwards, you can hear someone saying spanoodis eats cheese at night.
"don't know where your coming from but your coming soon"
He doesn't know when his break will come, or when his talents will be recognized, but he believes that he's going to get what he deserves eventually, from some where, some one.
"to a kid from oregon by way of california
all of this is more than i've ever known or seen"
Obviously Oregon and California are his past, and being in Nashville, TN, he's amazed by all the opportunity around him. He didn't know of these opportunities out West, and he's seeing them now.
