Rothberg patti up against the wall lyrics

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 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

 oh

 

 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

 It 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

 And you just can't cut it with the dull end of a knife

 

 And I'm up against the wall

 Wondering why I came at all

 Yes, I'm up against the wall

 Trying to disappear

 oh

 

 You know, the way you're walkin' makes you seem larger than life

 You turn the key to door, you're turning me on

 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 

 oh
