WALLS

[Verse 1]

All the way from Waco to WeHo with a rabbit on her chain

Drove a little slick car to tend bar with the static on her brain

She's a little burner, burner, gonna throw you to the flame

Little ticking time bomb, time bomb, gonna blow us all away

[Chorus]

Oh, take the time to waste a moment

Oh, never ask to be forgiven

[Verse 2]

Tex, he was her boyfriend with no kin always running from the law

Every other weekend, the week ends with his back in her claw

He's a livewire, wired, shooting sparks in the night

He’s a gun for a hire, hired with a bead in his sights

[Chorus]

Oh, take the time to waste a moment

Oh, facing where the lines are broken

Oh, name your price to all this living

Oh, never ask to be forgiven

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Oh, take the time to waste a moment

Oh, face it where the lines are broken

Oh, name a price to all that's living

Oh, never ask to be forgiven

[Verse 1]

On the lam cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap

Crushed by the crown of the wandering man who was never coming back

Stuck on the line spending all of his time with his back to the throne

With the flash of the round everybody in town said "Leave it alone"

[Chorus]

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio

Your heart will never say so

Your heart will never let it go

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio

My heart will never say so

My heart will never let it go

[Verse 2]

I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground

Beast of the wild with a porcelain smile as it passes around

The truth in disguise from the billowing eyes isn't working on me

Don't you think you gotta give

Give me something I want

Give me something I need

[Chorus]

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio

Your heart will never say so

Your heart will never let it go

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio

My heart will never say so

My heart will never let you go

[Chorus]

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio

Your heart will never say so

Your heart will never let it go

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio

My heart will never say so

My heart will never let you go

[Outro]

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio

So my heart will never say so

And my heart will never let you go

[Verse 1]

My corner, you'll find me every day

The boys come out

That's where we like to play

"Wanna tag along?" I said "No way."

One drop dead high

A price you're gonna pay

[Chorus]

Been around the world, been around the world

I stormed the gates inlaid in pearl

(Been around the world, been around the world

Been around the world, been around the world)

All around the world all around the world

I lost myself and found a girl

(Been around the world, been around the world)

[Verse 2]

Keep dancing, like it's ya last time

With softened eyes, swimming in delight

When the curtain falls, I'm on your scene

What sweet surprise sashay to me

[Chorus]

Been around the world, been around the world

I stormed the gates inlaid in pearl

(Been around the world, been around the world

Been around the world, been around the world)

All around the world all around the world

I lost myself and found a girl

(Been around the world, been around the world

Been around the world, been around the world)

Take it all the way, take it all the way

All the way

(Been around the world, been around the world

Been around the world, been around the world)

All around the world, all around the world

I lost myself and found a girl

(Been around the world, been around the world)

[Verse 1: Caleb Followill]

See you in the Western sky

On the best of nights

Out in the dark

You always seem to come my way

Come and take your shape

Out in the stars

I really wanna know your name

See your face

Know who you are, who you are

[Chorus]

How did ya find me?

How did ya find me?

What are you looking for? -are you looking for?

How did ya find me?

How did ya find me?

I see your shadow knocking at my door

[Verse 2]

Waiting on the smoke to rise from behind your eyes

Take me away

Follow me into the wild

With a twisted smile

I can't escape

And now I got you by my side

All my life

Day after day

Turn to gray

[Chorus]

How did ya find me?

How did ya find me?

What are you looking for? -are you looking for?

How did ya find me?

How did ya find me?

I feel your shadow knocking at my door

[Bridge]

See you in the western sky

Behind your eyes

I can't escape

From the gray

[Chorus]

How did ya find me?

How did ya find me?

What are you looking for? -are you looking for?

How did ya find me?

How did ya find me?

I feel your shadow, what are you looking for?

[Outro]

How did ya find me?

How did ya find me?

[Verse 1]

I see the grass beneath me

I smell the wind and sky

And think to myself

"Don't pass me by"

You dance in strange conditions with strangers of the night

I see you're crazy and so am I

You bled out red and blue

The boys of NYU, they saw you coming from miles away

Nothing is quite as homey

We dive each sunny day

I see you Kenny, you castaway

[Chorus]

Oh, don't say it's over

Don't say it's over anymore

Oh, don't say it's over

Don't say it's over anymore

[Verse 2]

Bright lights, that make the city

Quaaludes on Christmas Eve

And all the good times, we've ever seen

The roles we play together

The slaps across my face

I face the music

You write the scene

[Chorus]

Oh, don't say it's over

Don't say it's over anymore

Oh, don't say it's over

Don't say it's over anymore

[Bridge]

My angel hovers over

The light comes crashing in

I know it’s how this here story ends

I'll hang around forever

Until you cut me down

All pressed and ready to face the crowd

[Chorus]

Oh, don't say it's over

Don't say it's over anymore

Oh, don't say it's over

Don't say it's over anymore

15 ContributorsMuchacho LyricsDuring an interview with Rolling Stone the band revealed this track pays homage to former band art director Brett Kilroe, who died in March 2016 at the age of 45 from cancer.

He had done every video with us,… Read More My right hand partner

Used to work it for a living

He'd take the backseat

Of all that he was given

He'd let you rise

Then take the fall

He was my favorite friend of all

My old muchacho

Loved to dress for each occasion

Without that rocket ship

Taking me in the right direction

Those crooked eyes

That know it all

He was my favorite friend of all

He was my favorite friend of all

He's wearing jean on jean

Cut him some slack, fox

Perched in the corner of the scene

Just here to take stock

He'll take the chain

He'll take the ball

He was my favorite friend of all

He was my favorite friend of all

He was my favorite friend of all

[Verse 1]

Take me back to California

To those crystal neon signs

Where the traveling sensations

Are all blinded by the light

There are eyes in every corner

Bloated brains and rotten smiles

There are coats of many colors

Flying high up in the sky

[Chorus]

Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please?

Won't you come 'round my way, it's a conversation piece

[Verse 2]

Look at all these shattered faces

They all look so out of place

They've got nothing left to live for

They'll be dead before they wake

I'd love to know just what you're thinking

Tell me what I ought to do

I will never leave you lonely

You're the one I'm running to

[Bridge]

Get me out of California

Take me off into the blue

We could make it out together

To the place that's calling you

[Chorus]

Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please?

Won't you come 'round my way, it's a conversation piece

[Chorus]

Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please?

Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please?

Oh, won't you come 'round my way, it's a conversation piece

[Verse 1]

Out here looking for the good life

Tongue in my cheek and ya back in my knife

I keep pushing through

My eyes are right on you

Everyone says you should get away

Fast as you can, but I know you'll stay

You never fall behind

He's always on your mind

You're somewhere I wanna go

Nice and swift as we take it slow

Oh, we're on our way

Don't ever hesitate

I'll hide in the dark in the back of your brain

Laughing aloud as we go insane

No time to waste

I never come too late

[Chorus]

If you don't like it, then try it

You don't like it, then try it

Oh, I believe it when I see it

I believe it when I see it

[Verse 2]

You're my misfit and I'm your freak

Dance all night 'til our knees go weak

We can shut this place down

No one else is around

I try hard to understand

The crush of the world in the palm of your hand

You know we sit just right

Let's run away from the light

[Chorus]

If you don't like it, then try it

You don't like it, then try it

Well babe, I believe it when I see it

I believe it when I see it

[Verse 3]

Tongue in your cheek and back in my knife

Out here looking for the good life

Keep on pushing through

I got eyes on you

Baby, you know we're on our way

Misfit and freak every single day

Sitting ten feet tall

Let's go and take it all

[Chorus]

If you don't like it, then try it

You don't like it, then try it

I know you can see it, I believe it

You can see it, I believe it

[Outro]

We're here for the moment, so let's own it

For the moment, so let's own it

It's here for the taking

Why you waiting?

It's good loving, it's worth making

[Verse 1]

Like in a mainstream melody

Oh I want to take you in

If you come around

I come a running

Waltz through the fire again

The weight of the wind is kicking up

Every little sting is you

Plucked from the vine

Ahead of its time

Only if you want me to

[Chorus]

Wild heartbreak and wonder

Time, rolling like thunder

Brace for the explosion

Wild blissfully open

[Verse 2]

I spent the night on a riverside

Trying to recall my name

Head full of bends all sinking in

Something has it gone insane

The shape of the light comes screaming in

Harsh enough to see it through

Something in the air and the water tonight

Rising from the best of you

[Chorus]

Wild heartbreak and wonder

Time, rolling like thunder

Brace for the explosion

Wild blissfully open

[Chorus]

Wild heartbreak and wonder

Time, rolling like thunder

Brace for the explosion

Wild blissfully open

[Verse 1]

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]

When the walls come down

When the walls come down

When the walls come down

When the walls come down

[Verse 2]

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]

And the walls come down

And the walls come down

When the walls come down

When the walls come down

[Bridge]

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]

When the walls come down

When the walls come down

When the walls come down

When the walls come down

[Outro]

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
