Lyrics

Laying here and staring at the ceiling
Should have been asleep long time ago
But I just can?t seem to shake this feeling
Can?t figure out the things that I don?t know

So I?m still here but I must confess
That distance begets loneliness
And Lord, it?s been so long I can?t recall
And I know the words are hard to say
But I can?t help but feel this way
So I?ll just keep on staring at the wall

I always kept on knocking at your door
You said that you just couldn?t let me in
I felt but never said I needed more
I learned to wait till you came back again

So I?m still here but I must confess
Rejection begets wantonness
And Lord, it?s been so long I?ve felt at all
And you don?t mean the words you say
But my heart sometimes hears this way
So I?ll just keep on leaning on the wall

I hold the bars and peering through the gate
I barely see you walking in the night
I don?t have the key so I must wait
Search for words until I get it right

So I?m still here but I must confess
That silence begets restlessness
And Lord, it?s been so long I?ve talked at all
And you can?t hear the words I say
But my heart only speaks this way
So I?ll just keep on kicking at the wall

There is another soul who lies inside
Lately I have seen her more and more
Now I know that you have also tried
I guess I should have seen the love before

So I?m still here but I must confess
That anger begets emptiness
And Lord, that?s always been too long a fall
And if we can?t climb or walk around
I swear to God we?ll tear it down
And we?ll just keep on bringing down the wall
And we?ll just keep on bringing down the wall
We?ll live together bringing down the wall
