Lyrics

The Walls Are Way Too Thin

I heard you talking 'til the morning
Heavy whispers from the next room
You say it's never your intention
And I'm just in a bad mood
There was a possible connection
On the table for a second
Then she made such an entrance
Can't stand all this tension
Can you?

Then we crossed paths by the bathroom
But I'd just rather be out of the picture
And I'll do my utmost to talk to you
But I just wanna be out
I just wanna be out of the picture

And, no, I'm not just gonna lay here and bite my tongue
I only wanna be here when she's gone
Ooh, the walls are way too thin
Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
I'm bored, I'm ignored, I'm being out my mind
Ooh, the walls are way too thin
The walls are way too thin

You're blowing smoke rings in the corridors
I feel so cold
How come it rains inside?
The house is full, but I'm alone
With all the shit that still needs fixing
Out of my control
It takes a hold of me
It takes a hold of me

The same old sad songs I cling to
'Cause I just wanna be out
I just wanna be out of the picture

And, no, I'm not just gonna lay here and bite my tongue
I only wanna be here when she's gone
Ooh, the walls are way too thin
Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
I'm bored, I'm ignored, I'm being out my mind
Ooh, the walls are way too thin
The walls are way too thin

And, no, I'm not just gonna lay here and bite my tongue
I only wanna be here when she's gone
Ooh, the walls are way too thin
Oh, I get down, I get down when she gets you high
I'm bored, I'm ignored, I'm being out my mind
Ooh, the walls are way too thin
The walls are way too thin

(Oh, I get down)
The walls are way too thin
