Lyrics

Back Against The Wall

This drunken heart of mine knows the taste of a wine

That's bitter sweet that long ago was taken from the vine

This beggar's heart of mine, it ain't got any pride

So it lays me down on my knees to pray

One day it will guide my way

A fool will pay the price to play, I know

Now I'm back against the wall

So now I'll sit and drink

Maybe tomorrow

I will know my fate

For now I'll sit and wait

Maybe tomorrow

This forgotten heart of mine blocks out all the stars that shine

That heaven sent to the hell bent could not make me feel high

This lover's heart of mine, music of a divine

Caress on distant shores that I long to

Go and find someday if my heart guides my way

A fool will pay the price to play, I know

Now I'm back against the wall

So now I'll sit and drink

Maybe tomorrow

I will know my fate

For now I'll sit and wait

Maybe tomorrow

That I'm back against the wall

So now I'll sit and drink

Uh, maybe tomorrow

I will know my fate

For now I'll sit and wait

Maybe tomorrow (x4)
