Walls Lyrics

I've learned to be concerned with where I place my trust

So I took it off the shelf and packed it up

The table's set, the floor is swept And no one's walking up these steps

But who's to say if in the end

That I'd let them in

Or turn my back again

I don't know why you started knocking on my door

Each time I find myself giving more

It's been so long since I built up these four walls

Hoping they would keep it all out

Would you knock 'em down

Would you knock 'em down

I'm standing at the door with these tears now in my eyes

Quiet rings throughout these dusty halls

I locked myself inside but there's no where and there's no why

I'm only feeling lonely with these walls

You came into the room and let in all the light

Knew I'd see much more if I'd just raise the blinds

The shadows faded into drywall painted blue

And for years I'd match the colors of the room

Till you changed my every hue

Something no one else could do

I'm standing at the door with these tears now in my eyes

Quiet rings throughout these dusty halls

I'd locked myself inside but there's no where and there's no why

There's no more feeling lonely with these walls

Brick by brick and board by board

I know what I'm now living for

The only thing now left are bones

The sunlight in my window

The birds are in the air

And now I'm home

Ooh
