Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Like broken stones - all trying to get home.
Like a loser's reach
Too slow & short to hit the peaks
So lost & alone - trying to get home.

As another piece shatters
Another little bit gets lost
And what else really matters - at such a cost?

Like a loser's reach -
Too slow & short to hit the peaks
So lost & alone - trying to get home.

Trying to get home -
Like broken stones - All trying to get home.

    Song Meaning:The essence of this song is people's lives and people never actually achieving what they want to.

    General Comment:Can't believe nobody's commented on this! It's one of my faves by Weller.

    The way I interperet it is the way we try so hard to complete some things but sometimes everything we can do is ever enough and we get kicked down
