Lyrics: 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 spirits 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 (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 everytime I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again
it's harder than it sounds
well everytime 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

I got evicted now I 'm living on the street
my spirits 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 I grasp the concept
then I 'll sleep where you slept
when I know I need help
when I allow myself (allow myself)

to experience the bittersweet
to taste defeat
then brush your teeth
experience the bittersweet
to taste defeat
then brush your 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 everytime I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again
it's harder than it sounds
well everytime I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again

cause I struggle with forward motion
cause I struggle with forward motion
we all struggle with forward motion

[in background:]
(cause forward motion is harder than it sounds.
well everytime I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again
cause forward motion is harder than it sounds
well everytime I gain some ground
I gotta turn myself around again)

cause I struggle with forward motion
cause I struggle with forward motion
we all struggle with forward motion

cause I struggle with forward motion
cause I struggle with forward motion
we all struggle with forward motion
