Whoa, I’ve been banging my head against the wall,
Whoa, for so long it seems I knocked it down,
Yeah, it got knocked down.
Whoa, and the heating bill went through the roof,
Whoa, and the wall I knocked down was the proof,
That my Landlord needed to kick me out.I got evicted, now I’m living on the street.
My spirit’s lifted… Oh wait, that wasn’t me.
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong.
This time I learned that, I knew it all along.
Car crashes occur, then I’ll be what You were,
When I see what I should, when I see that it’s 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 foward motion.
I struggle with foward motion.
We all struggle with foward motion.
‘Cause foward motion is harder than it sounds.
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again.
It’s harder than it sounds.
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again.
Whoa, I’ve been banging my head against the wall,
Whoa, for so long it seems I got knocked out,
Yeah, I got knocked out cold.
Whoa, and the medical bills went through the roof,
Whoa, and the scar on my head is the proof,
That I’ll still remember this when I get old.
I got evicted, now I’m living on the street.
My spirit’s lifted… Oh wait, that wasn’t me.
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong.
This time I learned that, I knew it all along.
When I grasp this concept, then I’ll sleep where You slept.
When I know I need help, when I allow myself
To experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth.
Experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth.
