Story behind the song
The conflict in Iraq inspired me to write this song. The "Love interest" is the country from which the troops are from. It is about giving your all to a cause until there is barely anything of you left. Becoming someone different to complete a mission...and forgeting who you were before you left.
Lyrics
You asked for all of me, and so it seems That it’d be much too late, when we’d find what all of me would mean See I’m that kind of man who’d go to war Just to fight for things to bring back, to keep giving you more Well maybe I’ve conquered all I’ve seen, if that means there’s nothing left to gain Then that means there’s nothing left to give you, so I’ll never be the same And as much as you need me to come back, I couldn’t begin to find my way But even if I found home, I’m so changed, that you’d turn away Maybe it’s just too long of a road Maybe I’m just too far, far from home I wanna get back to me and what I know But maybe I’m just too far, too far gone There’s so many things I’ve had to learn Like how to live a life that wasn’t mine, and protect what I didn’t earn And I’ve had to forget some things to make it through Things like right from wrong, while all along, I invent the truth Now I know it’s not right to place blame, and to say that it’s your fault is insane But still I can find some peace if I point out that I did this all for you Now if you can’t find honor in that, then there’s really no reason to come back And that would mean I’d stay lost with no cause, and that won’t do But maybe it’s just too long of a road Maybe I’m just too far, far from home I wanna get back to me and what I know But maybe I’m just too far, too far gone I say I’ve gone too far……! (guitar solo) every time I say I’m empty I keep finding more And every time I keep on finding I keep giving more Until my world comes crumbling down It keeps on crumbling down It keeps on crumbling down on me every time I think you’re happy you need something else But you can take it all from me until there’s nothing left And then my world stops crumbling down There’s nothing crumbling down Maybe it’s just too long of a road Maybe I’m just too far, far from home I wanna get back to me and what I know But maybe I’m just too far, too far gone (x2)
