Hit The Wall

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Always thought I'd hear it coming

Something shifting underneath

Put my hours on the table

Put my plans behind the door

Kept on saying we'd have time

When we didn't need much more

Pre-Chorus

Never felt the ground give way

Till I had nowhere to go

Chorus

Hit the wall

At full speed

All I built

Came down on me

Watched it fall

Couldn't move

What do you hold on to

When it all falls through?

Instrumental

Verse 2

Got the call on Monday morning

Had my things packed up by noon

Found your keys beside a letter

Read the first line standing up

Spent the evening at the table

With my hands around your cup

Pre-Chorus

Never felt the ground give way

Till I had nowhere to go

Chorus

Hit the wall

At full speed

All I built

Came down on me

Watched it fall

Couldn't move

What do you hold on to

When it all falls through?

Bridge

All the things I put off living

For a day that never came

Every night I wasn't with you

I said I was doing it for us

Now there's time in every corner

Now there's nowhere I should be

And the life I worked to give you

Is a house too big for me

Breakdown

Take the years

Take the pay

Tell me what

Was worth the trade

I was there

I did my time

How'd it all

Get left behind?

No way back

No next move

Just these walls

And the missing you

Instrumental

Chorus

Hit the wall

At full speed

All I built

Came down on me

Watched it fall

Couldn't move

What do you hold on to

When it all falls through?

Outro

Morning comes

The alarm still rings

I reach across

Without thinking

Hit the wall

Hit the wall

Never heard it coming

Now I hear it all
