Walls

I bought a card and wrote a note

I sent that letter to myself

I need some love I need some hope

And I don’t care where it comes from

I got my car and drove it west

These people think that they know best

I couldn’t care my life is blessed

I don’t compare it to the rest

I left my writing on the wall

But it’s a crime and nothing more

We need some truth we need it all

But there’s no point in waging war

Excuse me miss my time is short

Let’s fall in love it’s just a thought

I need a friend that isn’t bought

‘Cause Friday night’s become a sport

All of these years

I’ve been up against a wall

And all of my fears

Push me up against a wall

And all of my tears

Leave me up against a wall

I found a fifty dollar note

I fold it up and let it go

That paper aeroplane can float

I didn’t mean to build a boat

I climbed the mountain for the view

I had me nothing left to do

I saw the sign and took my cue

Each thought begins and ends with you

All of these years

I’ve been up against a wall

And all of my fears

Push me up against a wall

And all of my tears

Leave me up against a wall

All of these years

I’ve been up against a wall

And all of my fears

Push me up against a wall

And all of my tears

Leave me up against a wall

And oh who knows

What we could change

If all these walls

Just blow away

And oh who knows

What we could change

If all these walls

Just blow away

All of these years

You’ve been up against a wall

And all of your fears

Push you up against a wall

And all of your tears

Leave you up against a wall

All of these years

You’ve been up against a wall

And all of your fears

Push you up against a wall

And all of your tears

Leave you up against a wall
