Up Against the Wall lyrics

Artist  : Patti Rothberg 
Song : Up Against the Wall
 


He's trying hard to keep control and lead the
way.
He's finding all the perfect things to
say to me.
I climb the stairs with only one
thing on my mind.
To kick the 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.


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 the thought.
It goes against most
everything that I've been taught.

It's
when you wake up and you can't got 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 the knife, and I'm

Up Against
the Wall.
Wondering why I came at all
Yes
I'm Up Against the Wall.
Trying to
disappear.


(Spoken Bridge)
You know
they way you're rockin' makes you 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 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(3x).
