Up Against The Wall Lyrics
Up against the wall
You don't stand so tall
Better run run run put your armor on again
She is 12 years old
Nothing she don't know
She says you're 32 but you wanna be 16
I know that you did not receive
What it was that you needed when you were growing
But tell me what's the worth
You're repeating history verse by verse
What do you prove
No matter what you say I think you'll lose you'll lose
You'll lose her
Up against the wall
You don't stand so tall
Better run run run put your armor on again
Isn't it time we recognized
that we all live such broken lives sometimes
And it's sad but true
that you still carry so much with you
You don't stand so tall
Better run run run put your armor on again
Nothing she don't know
She says you're 32 but you wanna be 16
What it was that you needed when you were growing
But tell me what's the worth
You're repeating history verse by verse
No matter what you say I think you'll lose you'll lose
You'll lose her
You don't stand so tall
Better run run run put your armor on again
that we all live such broken lives sometimes
And it's sad but true
that you still carry so much with you
This song to me is about carrying on the generational curse of child abuse. The last verse is so true... about us all..
Yup, agreed. A child who's seen too much for her years. Seen it all, done it all, suffered pain and hurt that she'll carry with her forever. "It's sad but true, you still carry so much with you"
This song is so good. There are so many kids out there like this these days. It must be hard to realize you are more mature than your own parents.
And this song is so catchy you can't help but sing along.
