lyrics

if i spin in circles
can i turn it all around
if i can't look up
then i must be down
if we take a picture
will it all focus now
if i frame it up
will you tear it down
the walls are painting pictures
while the picture paints the wall
who would've thought
that they'd do it so well
well i've been here for a while now baby
and i gleaned a scene of tragedy
now i'm breathing a big sigh of relief
because then all the walls were closing in
and the floor was rising up
and the roof was coming down on us
but we made it out
the walls are hanging snapshots
of our lives all tied up
a frame wrapped in a bow made of luck
i've been around for a while now honey
i've done a lot but it's not enough
the change is slow
but the pace is so abrupt
and now all the walls are closing in
and the floor is rising up
and the roof is coming down on us
but we made it out
we made it out alive
so-so
