Such a resigned line is "everything I'll ever be, I've been". If that isn't giving in, I don't know what is. Am sure he wrote those lines during a bad time and later did not feel them as much.
I could be wrong, but I think "Hold me, love me, tie me up and drug me" is one of the greatest lines in a rock song ever. Do miss the pedal steel on this version, though.
Yeah, he sounds so vulnerable yet assured during this strong line. I used to think it was "drop me" until I read the lyrics. I think it should be drop me...
His songs are SO good... for some reason he kinda reminds me of Neil Young.

Certainly a well-crafted pop song. One of the all-time best.
