Lyrics
You're speeding faster backwards down this one way street
And you can't find the room to turn around
You are not flattered in the patterns you have sunken into
And it only brings you down
Everything that's ever said to you
Always comes around again
You scream out loud above the voices in the crowd
And you feel that these walls will soon come tumbling down
But it's only one brick at a time...one brick at a time, it's one brick, one brick at a time
You feel the sudden need to flee from all these worries that keep
Pounding on your troubled heart
You're never here, you're never there your somewhere stuck in between
And you just want to fall apart
Everything that's ever said to you
Always comes around around around again
You scream out loud above the voices in the crowd
And you feel that these walls will soon come tumbling down
But it's only one brick at a time...one brick at a time, it's one brick, one brick at a time
I hope you know you are loved
I hope you know you are loved
I know it never feels like it's enough
When these walls seem so high
And it's always one brick at a time, it's one brick, one brick at a time
You scream out loud above the voices in the crowd
And you feel that these walls will soon come tumbling down
But it's only one brick at a time...one brick at a time, it's one brick, one brick at a time
