Over a rapid-fire acoustic guitar, the narrator lays out regrets about a life that did not meet his goals. It's a bristling bit of introspective folk. I wish I liked it more, but the song doesn't build up to anything, make any statements, or go any further than lamenting. "Thought that I would be anywhere but here." Sure, but what now? Songs don't necessary require a resolution, but this one needs something more. We have an assessment of a life; now we should have a conclusion of some kind.
