Gray Walls Lyrics

I stare at the walls that you've painted gray

And silence will scrape through the room

Though we both have things to say

You'll rest by my side

And we'll talk of the trains in the distance

Of where they're going

And why nobody on them wants to stay

But I'm staying here tonight

You've built up your walls

With extroverts over years

And energy shifted so as to not let it disappear

But how many men must you take on the chin

Before you shine a light on yourself

And see if it cracks to let something in

But my walls are aging too

We passed in the hallway

Of the place you work

And I didn't know what to say

You smile and nod

And chock is up to an aura haze

We'll stare at the walls that you've painted gray

You'll sit by my side and ask me if I want to stay

Please don't feel bad

You said what you had to say

Like the paper on the wall

The stitches on your sleeve are all torn and frayed

But I'm staying here tonight
