He's trying hard to keep control and lead the way |
|
He's finding all the perfect words to say to me |
|
I'm climbing stairs with only one thing on my mind |
|
To kick a habit of lost opportunity |
|
It's only natural to want what doesn't come |
|
I swiped away all of the pawns under my thumb |
|
But like the ending of a one act play |
|
The curtain closes and the actors run away |
|
And I'm up against the wall |
|
Wondering why |
|
I came at all |
|
Yes, I'm up against the wall |
|
Trying to disappear oh |
|
I look around and watch the world as it goes by |
|

|
Wondering why |
|
I came at all |
|
Yes, I'm up against the wall |

Trying to disappear oh |
|

|
You turn the key to door, you're turning me on |
|
My mind spins high above the world |
|
That's the way |
|
I feel It's only natural to want what doesn't come |
|
I swiped away all of the pawns under my thumb |
|
But like the ending of a one act play |
|
The curtain closes and the actors run away |
|
And I'm up against the wall |
|
Wondering why |
|
I came at all |
|
Yes, I'm up against the wall |
|
Trying to disappear oh |
