I wrote my way out When the world turned its back on me I was up against the wall I had no foundation No friends and no family to catch my fall I picked up a pen And wrote my way out (I wrote my way out) I picked up the pen like Hamilton Running on

She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall Thunderstorms I've been feeling foolish You should try it She came and substituted The peace and quiet

Yeah I'm always on your side No one, no one, no one can ever change it C'mon let 'em try 'Cause it's you and me together now You and me together Looks like we found ourselves Up against a wall In need of a little help But no one wants to call

Is that for me? Been thinking 'bout it all day Up against the wall, up against the wall No turnin' back now Catching feelings no, catching feelings no Let's go away now Savor the taste now Wanna know now Oooh, come a little bit closer

If he ain't gonna love you If he ain't gonna love you, I will Girl, I need to talk to you And here's the deal Like you never been loved before Up against the wall when you walk in the door Looking like you wanna leave, you want some more Girl, well, I
