 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 pauns  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.....

 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
 He 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
 You just can't cut it with the dull end of a knife
 Up against the wall
 wondering why I came at all
 Yes I'm up against the wall
 Trying to disappear.....
 You know the way you're walking makes U seem larger than life.
 As you turn the key to your door - you're turning me on.
 And 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 pauns 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.....
 Trying to disappear.....
 Trying to disappear.....^Z

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
He 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
You just can't cut it with the dull end of a knife

Up against the wall
wondering why I came at all
Yes I'm up against the wall
Trying to disappear.....

You know the way you're walking makes U seem larger than life.
As you turn the key to your door - you're turning me on.
And 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 pauns 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.....
Trying to disappear.....
Trying to disappear.....^Z
