Up Against The Wall lyrics

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 how small, how small am I
He makes a gesture to distract me from a thought
It goes against most everything that I`ve been taught

It`s when you wake up and you can`t go back to sleep
It`s when you wonder `bout the company you keep
It`s when you wake up in the middle of your life
And you just can`t cut it with the dull end of a knife

And I`m up against the wall
Wondering why I came at all
Yes, I`m up against the wall
Trying to disappear
oh

You know, the way you`re walkin` makes you seem larger than life
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
