I’ve taken to leanin' these past few days
A little too heavy on my walking cane
Cause I’m afraid she’s swinging my way
That wrecking ball

Now with all my ducks in a row
With one pull I can let 'em go
Not to loose
Just to show
I could catch 'em all

And every man bears a burden
His own beast by the horns
That he hides from the world
When he’s young and strong
Looking over his shoulder
Half tethered and torn
Still standing tall

Every hero is on like a runaway train
Every beast grows stronger
As the pendulum swings, to and fro 
And all she goes
That wrecking ball

Instrumental

I‘ve just seen that rock of ages
I've just held my savior’s hand
We just danced on the water
With my head on her shoulders
She swore to never let me fall

And when time seems so kindly
If every bright-eyed girl could be more like you
And shelter me
From that wrecking ball
That wrecking ball
