What's this song about?

1
He ties his bags around his thighs
2
Newspaper bags filled with newspaper lies
3
And combs his hair, straightens his tie
4
But the people still stare the people want to know why
5
He chose to fill the air with echoes of an ordinary life
6
After all these years when she was alive
7
He stood in the corner and he built a disguise
8
Now that she's gone, the house won't rise
9
So he sits on a milk crate with a handsaw to the sky
10
He chose to fill the air with echoes of an ordinary life
11
So don't call me man, don't call me boy anymore
12
Take or leave your crown behind and I'll cry your name in war
13
And there's rocks in windows that Michael threw
14
And this weeks window...it's for you
15
He dropped out of Amherst in his second year
16
And now he's digging holes for the state
17
And he lays so still in the morning chill
18
'Cause he's having trouble sleeping late
19
And he pours down the concrete on 7th street
20
And the children come up slow with open hands
21
And as they set them in, he's ashamed within
22
'Cause he knows that once they walk away he'll just go fill it up again
23
He chose to fill the air with echoes of an ordinary life
24
Oh and I should go, but can I stay?
25
Just one more song and I'll be on my way
26
Don't' call me man don't call me boy
27
Don't call me man don't call me boy
28
When he lost his home, and his face grew thin
29
He traded her dresses for a used violin
30
And when he raised the wood and touched it to his chin
31
He whispered who I am, ain't nothing like the wasted man I've been
32
He chose to fill the air with echoes of an ordinary life
33
Far away we go
34
We go far away
35
We go so far that you can't even see us grow
