dirty walls - the cardboard city lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
everything takes forever
(more or less by definition)
i’ll wait until i can’t remember
what i’m waiting for
all i wanna do
is watch a movie starring you
where every day’s your birthday and you’re
happy in your cabin with its

dirty walls
— walls made of the world
just as far apart and just as
close as you will need them when you
need to lean, and you
need to push
and you need to know that you can dig your
way back to the city through those
solid walls, those
heavy walls
— those walls of wordless feeling that
contain your tender heart

[verse 2]
just two human beings
just their two big toes
bodies that are memories that
press into our choices
all i wanna do is hold your
hand while you’re flying
or pick you up at the airport and buy you a cup of coffee
when you’re tired of flying over these

dirty walls
— walls made of disappointment
walls that kick your -ss and tell you
you just make the same mistakes each
time you try to be
you again
and you turn the lights on in the middle of your
life and find you’re pressed against those
godd-mn walls, those
too-familiar walls, those
walls that hide the other walls that
press into the sky

[verse 3]
two wrongs don’t make a right
but three rights make a left
if you get back and i’m not here, just
call me in the morning
somebody said that self-defeat is the
easiest form of self-control, but i don’t really
buy that — i like my clichés
dirty, like those

dirty walls
— walls of deep hot death
thickening and burning as you
soak up all the sunlight that you
need to breathe when you
leave yourself; and you
tell me what you’ve seen on your
latest crazy journey through the
broken lands, way out-
side the walls — the
walls that you remember when you
wake up here with me
