The Wall In My Head (lyrics)

The Wall in My Head

John McCrea, Original West End Cast of Everybody's Talking About Jamie

It was something he said
Something he said
His words built a wall
A wall inside my head

Just one little thing
Didn't mean that much to him
But it keeps building and building and building
This wall in my head
This wall in my head

Just one tiny thought
It started out so small
The thought made a brick
The bricks made a wall

And the wall keeps me down
And the wall trips me up
And it keeps building and building and building
This wall in my head
This wall in my head

And here I stand
With my feet stuck to the floor
As I shout down the street
Screaming for more

Over the wall
Over the wall
I see my future standing tall
Over the wall
Over the wall
I can believe I'd have it all

So I keep climbing and climbing and climbing
This wall in my head, head, head
I'll keep on climbing and climbing and climbing
This wall in my head, head, head
This wall in my head
This wall in my head

‘Twas something he said
Just one little thing
The thought left a scar
The words left a sting

Those words are the walls
That still hold me in
And they keep building and building and building and building

And don't fall, I'm finding my feet
There's shoes to be filled
But this wall, is harder to beat
When its one you helped build

Over the wall
Over the wall
I see my future standing tall
Over the wall
Over the wall
I can believe I'd have it all

So I keep climbing and climbing and climbing
This wall in my head, head, head
I'll keep on climbing and climbing and climbing
This wall in my head, head, head

Oh I'll keep climbing and climbing and climbing
And climbing and climbing and climbing
And climbing and climbing

Hand over hand over hand over brick over
Hand over brick over hand over brick over
Climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing

This wall in my head
This wall in my head

This wall in my head
This wall in my head

This wall in my head
