Looking For A Wall Lyrics
Met someone I knew before
The windowpane to the soul
They will never let you down
And we'd know
We've seen each other around
Doing the late night downtown crawl
Deep inside I know I'm sick and tired of it all
It comes too quick and goes too fast
Does anything ever last at all?
We're just looking for a wall to crash into
And me I'd be happy just bumping into you
Here I am and there they go
And if you ask me how I know
The oldest story in the world
Then I hope someday you'll know
That they'll never die if you never grieve
Everybody's moving to a place they gotta leave
So kill your TV and kill your phone
Be quiet and be alone with you
When technology solves apologies I will retire
With records and candles and pencils and cameras
And your soul in my eyes...
The windowpane to the soul
They will never let you down
And we'd know
We've seen each other around
Deep inside I know I'm sick and tired of it all
It comes too quick and goes too fast
Does anything ever last at all?
And me I'd be happy just bumping into you
And if you ask me how I know
The oldest story in the world
Then I hope someday you'll know
Everybody's moving to a place they gotta leave
So kill your TV and kill your phone
Be quiet and be alone with you
With records and candles and pencils and cameras
And your soul in my eyes...

I think it's about a guy out late. He's drunk, and along the way who starts thinking about his problems in life. The title "Looking for a Wall" has a double meaning. It means literally looking for a place to crash for the night, and figuratively he's looking for someone to serve as a wall to stop his problems.
