Walls Lyrics – Kings of Leon
Walls Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Caleb Followill]
I can't get there on my own
You can't leave me here alone
I’m just trying to do what’s right
Oh a man ain't a man 'less he's fought the fight
I could never point you out
Waste of space in a faceless crowd
Tell me what I have to say
If you know what’s right, then you’ll walk away
[Chorus: Caleb Followill]
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
[Verse 2: Caleb Followill]
One by one I've seen em fall
Some just don’t show up at all
I’m just here to fight the fire
Oh a man ain’t a man 'less he has desire
[Chorus: Caleb Followill]
And the walls come down
And the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
[Bridge: Caleb Followill]
You tore out my heart
And you threw it away
The western girl with eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there’s nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
[Chorus: Caleb Followill]
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
[Outro: Caleb Followill]
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
The western girl with eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there’s nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
