When i hear you sing The songs that i wrote I get a little lump Down in my throat I can see the corners that i shade When i see you walking down the roads that i paved We live our lives and make our mistakes Taking for granted all the choices we made When we were young And out of control Whenever Now that we're grown and not on our own Wish you wouldve paid attention to All we've been shown And we learn to fall, We got our backs against the wall You don't have to be by the phone Just to get the call You don't have to be by the phone Just to get the call You better watch what you say You better watch what you do Cause it's all coming right back to you We spend our days making our beds or laying Always working when you should be playing You give what you got Although it ain't much All you've been given is all what you know And we learn to fall, We got our backs against the wall Don't hang your head boy you Gotta learn to stand tall To stand tall To stand tall
