Up Against The Wall Lyrics
It's over, look out below
I'm wasted, I still taste it
Yeah it's so hard to let go
So breathe in now, and breathe it out
The forecast; A car crash
It's looking like another
Breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
No rewinds, no second times
And I won't break, I won't waste
Everything you left behind
So don't follow, just let it go
The weather's been better
Don't let it be another
Breakdown, rebound
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
All the nights spent sitting at home
When you were out there on your own
All the nights waited by the phone
When you were going in alone
And all your different faces
And all your different ways
Are making everything a mess
And all I'm saying is that
I have different places and
All the complications led to this
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
And I can't deny your eyes
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
I'm wasted, I still taste it
Yeah it's so hard to let go
So breathe in now, and breathe it out
It's looking like another
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
And I won't break, I won't waste
Everything you left behind
So don't follow, just let it go
The weather's been better
Don't let it be another
This could be my last goodbye
You cross your heart, I hope to die
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
When you were out there on your own
All the nights waited by the phone
When you were going in alone
And all your different faces
And all your different ways
Are making everything a mess
And all I'm saying is that
I have different places and
All the complications led to this
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all
You know I try to read between the lines,
I saw a warning sign
And then you threw me up against the wall
Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all

I can't stop listening to this song ..... .....
great song, but two tenative corrections.
"Don't let it be another" instead of "So let it be another"
and "All your different faces and all the complications led to this" instead of "I have different places and all the complications end today"
not sure but thats what i think haha.
i think this song is also about losing someone and regretting ever even taking the chance.
I'm pretty sure it's 'threw' not 'feel'
And I think that it is:
All the nights spent sitting at home When you were out there on your own All the nights waited by the phone When you were going in alone And all your different faces And all your different ways Are making everything a mess And all I'm saying is that I have different places and All the complications led to this
Haha thanks for the edits guys. I tend to do these at like one in the morning, so that's probably why it was all messed up.
And I agree that it's about losing someone and regretting ever trying to have a relationship with them in the first place.
yep i agree with the meaning - aw this song is actually really sad lol. it sounds like he's still hung up over his ex in the chorus part.
nonetheless, this song is amazing and i love the album.
i think this is song is about a guy who liked a girl and she didn't like him/was planning to dump him & the guy kind of saw what was coming, but after it happened he was really hurt.
ya break-up song. but i've noticed its got a killers feel to it... if you listen to the music... not the words you know. hah just an observation
the killers?? NO WAY.
but anyway....this is one of my faves. in agreeance with everyone, it is a break up song. one of my faves on the album.
Alfred Lord Tennyson first said, in his poem In Memorium, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Just wanted to piont that out. I think this is one of my favorite songs by BLG.
