| Lyrics
Verse 1: (Whoa-o) I’ve been banging my head against the wall (Whoa-o) For so long it seems I knocked it down Yeah, it got knocked down (Whoa-o) And the heating bill went through the roof (Whoa-o) And the wall I knocked down was the proof That my landlord needed to kick me out
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 car crashes occur Then I’ll be what you were When I see what I should When I see that it’s good That it's good
To taste defeat then brush my teeth Experience the bittersweet To taste defeat then brush my teeth
Cause I struggle with forward motion I struggle with forward motion We all struggle with forward motion Cause forward 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-o) I’ve been banging my head against the wall (Whoa-o) For so long it seems I got knocked out Yeah, I got knocked out cold (Whoa-o) And the medical bills went through the roof (Whoa-o) 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 the concept Then I’ll sleep where you slept When I know I need help When I allow myself
To taste defeat then brush your teeth To experience the bittersweet To taste defeat then brush your teeth
Cause I struggle with forward motion I struggle with forward motion We all struggle with forward motion Cause forward 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 Cause I struggle with forward motion Cause I struggle with forward motion We all struggle with forward motion Cause I struggle with forward motion Cause I struggle with forward motion We all struggle with forward motion
