Whoa-o...Ive  been banging my head against the wall
 Whoa-o...for so long it seems I  knocked it down,
 yeah it got  knocked down
 Whoa-o...and the heating bill went through the roof
 Whoa-o...and the wall I knocked down was the proof
 That my landlord needed to  kick me out
 I got evicted  now Im living on the street
 My spirits lifted...oh  wait, that wasnt  me
 Too many turns  have turned out to be wrong
 This time I learned  that, I knew  it all along
When  car crashes occur
 Then Ill be what you  were
When  I see what I should
 When I see that its good  (that its good)
 To experience  the bittersweet
 To taste  defeat
 Then brush my teeth
Experience  the bittersweet
 To taste  defeat
 Then brush my teeth
Cause  I struggle with forward  motion
I  struggle with forward  motion
We  all struggle with forward  motion
 Cause forward  motion is harder than it sounds
 Well everytime  I gain some ground
 I gotta  turn myself around again
Its  harder than it sounds
 Well everytime  I gain some ground
 I gotta turn  myself around again
Whoa-o...Ive  been banging my head against the wall
 Whoa-o...for so long it seems I  got knocked out.
 yeah, I got knocked  out cold
Whoa-o...and  the medical bills went through the
roof
 Whoa-o...and the scar on my  head is the proof
 That Ill still remember this when I  get old
 I got evicted  now Im living on the street
 My spirits lifted...oh  wait, that wasnt  me
 Too many turns  have turned out to be wrong
 This time I learned  that, I knew  it all along
When  I grasp the concept
 Then Ill sleep where you slept
When  I know I need  help
 When I allow myself  (allow myself)
