Forward Motion

Whoa-o...I’ve been banging my head against the wall
Whoa-o...For so long it seems I knocked it down
Yeah, it got knocked down
Whoa-o...and the heating bill went through the roof
Whoa-o...and the wall I knocked down was the proof
That my landlord needed to kick me out

I got evicted now I’m living on the street
My spirit’s lifted...oh wait, that wasn’t me
Too many turns have turned out to be wrong
This time I learned that, I knew it all along
When car crashes occur
Then I’ll be what you were
When I see what I should
When I see that it’s good

To experience the bittersweet
To taste defeat then brush my teeth
Experience the bittersweet
To taste defeat then brush my teeth

Cause I struggle with forward motion
I struggle with forward motion
We all struggle with forward motion
Cause forward motion is harder than it sounds
Well every time I gain some ground I gotta turn myself around again
It’s harder than it sounds
Well every time I gain some ground I gotta turn myself around again

Whoa-o...I’ve been banging my head against the wall
Whoa-o...For so long it seems I got knocked out
Yeah, I got knocked out cold
Whoa-o...and the medical bills went through the roof
Whoa-o...and the scar on my head is the proof
That I’ll still remember this when I get old
When I grasp the concept
Then I’ll sleep where you slept
When I know I need help
When I allow myself

To experience the bittersweet
To taste defeat then brush your teeth
To experience the bittersweet
To taste defeat then brush your teeth
