Lyrics
Picture On The Wall
They wanted to tell you, that you are not alone
Though you're out here on your own
Yeah they got you
You wonder when they say it, does it help them sleep at night
At their regular bedtimes
Yeah you wonder
You're trying to be fair, don't wanna carry ‘round
This despair in a new town
That you're living
Made friends in the basement, of a downtown parking garage
Rubber balloons for your arms
You were just parking
Some days feel like summer
Some days don't feel at all
Like you're a picture on the wall
Part of the endless city sprawl
You dream of the west coast
Still fresh upon your lips
Early morning ocean mist
Just get there before winter hits
You've been keeping busy
You've got so much to do
You're new friends they wait for you
In the basement
See, jobs, they're not easy
To find or to hold down
But out west there's more around
And you're going
Some days feel like summer
Some days don't feel at all
Like you're a picture on the wall
Part of the endless city sprawl
You dream of the west coast
Still fresh upon your lips
Early morning ocean mist
Just get there before winter hits
Maybe there you'll get a bike
No train fare and exercise
Find some time to get outside
A fresh start is all you need
Some new things you've never seen
Find a reason not to leave
Some days feel like summer
Some days don't feel at all
Like you're a picture on the wall
Part of the endless city sprawl
You dream of the west coast
Still fresh upon your lips
Early morning ocean mist
Just get there before winter hits
They wanted to tell you, that you are not alone
Though you're out here on your own
Yeah they got you
