Pat Green - Barricades lyrics

rate me

Close my eyes

And ask myself a question

Why is I do what I do

Am I looking for some happy definition?

Life, and love and the corners of the truth

Or am I just some curious bystander

Looking at the world through a child's eyes

Sunlight, always shining on my shoulder

While the storm rages on deep inside

And it seems so hard

To keep it all together

When the walls are fallin' down

On every side

I'll be damned

If I give up on you easy

I've worked too hard

To put the barricades aside

This world is a stage

We're meant to play on

Direction from inside

On what to do

I don't know how I could have all the answers

When inside I don't have a clue

And it seems so hard

To keep it all together

When the walls are fallin' down

On every side

I'll be damned

If I give up on you easy

I've worked too hard

To put the barricades aside

Tell me something

And I'll be okay

Told myself I'd be alright

No doubt

So when do I know

When I've been lyin'?

I can't believe it took 30 years

To figure that shit out

And it seems so hard

To keep it all together

When the walls are fallin' down

On every side

I'll be damned

If I give up on you easy

I've worked too hard

To put the barricades aside
