Red Walls

lyrics by: D. Wynne and J. Meek
music by: D. Wynne

The red walls in this house don’t cover the blue that surrounds you
Place all these things up on a shelf
And sometime they will find you again
Does anybody know where she’s been?

I’m still trying to save me, baby
I tell you I just don’t have time for this
Staying up real late, most days
It’s not easy to live around your head

I am overcome with this condition
Calling my whole life into question
And why what you think is so damn important

The frequency of these calls, drown out the silence in the evening
Me and all these thoughts get crossed
Traveling along telephone wires
I call out your name, nobody answers

I’m still trying to save me, baby
I tell you I just don’t have time for this
Staying up real late, most days
It’s not easy to live around your head

I am overcome with this condition
Calling my whole life into question
And why what you think is so damn important

It’s just not that easy (to reach inside and turn it off)
It’s not easy (to find my way when I am lost)
It’s not easy (to run before I learn to walk)
It’s just not that easy

I’m still trying to save me, baby
I tell you I just don’t have time for this
Staying up real late, most days
It’s not easy to live around your head

I am overcome with this condition
Calling my whole life into question
And why what you think is so damn important
