Lyric discussion by Brucella425 

Most of you are wrong, Jackson Browne wrote this alone when he was sixteen, and released it on his first album, before he and Nico had collaborated. If you listen closely to the lyrics, it's an introspective poem about a kid who's life doesn't seem to be going the right way.

"These days I tend to think a lot about the things that i forgot to do... and all the times I had the chance to."

"don't confront me with my failures"
