Tug-O-War-O-Life

Whoa, I've been banging my head against the wall,
Whoa, for so long it seems I knocked it down,
Yeah, it got knocked down.
Whoa, and the heating bill went through the roof,
Whoa, and the wall I knocked down was the proof,
That my Landlord needed to kick me out.

I got evicted, now I'm living on the street.
My spirit's lifted... Oh wait, that wasn't me.
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong.
This time I learned that, I knew it all along.

Car crashes occur, then I'll be what You were,
When I see what I should, when I see that it's good.
To experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth.
Experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth.

'Cause I struggle with foward motion.
I struggle with foward motion.
We all struggle with foward motion.
'Cause foward motion is harder than it sounds.
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again.
It's harder than it sounds.
Well every time I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again.

Whoa, I've been banging my head against the wall,
Whoa, for so long it seems I got knocked out,
Yeah, I got knocked out cold.
Whoa, and the medical bills went through the roof,
Whoa, and the scar on my head is the proof,
That I'll still remember this when I get old.

I got evicted, now I'm living on the street.
My spirit's lifted... Oh wait, that wasn't me.
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong.
This time I learned that, I knew it all along.

When I grasp this concept, then I'll sleep where You slept.
When I know I need help, when I allow myself
To experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth.
Experience the bittersweet, to taste defeat, then brush my teeth.
