climb the walls

maybe i need another city
maybe i should take a plane
maybe i look just like a drifter
maybe i look as plain as jane
but maybe jane would take a train.

maybe i’ll go down to the water
maybe i’ll try and lose the land
maybe i’ll get a sinkin feeling
like i’m forgetting who i am
but maybe that’s all just a scam.

maybe i should climb the walls, you tell me if i look okay
baby if i climb the walls, you’ll see me a different way

maybe i should put on my good suit
maybe i’ll go down to the town
and try to make myself some new friends
try not to wear the old ones down
but i think there’s enough to go around.

maybe it’s in the destination
maybe it’s in the travel plan
just tell me how much is the ticket?
i think the ticket makes the man
i think i’ll stay just who i am.

maybe you should climb the walls, i’ll tell you if you look ok
baby if you climb the walls, i’ll look at you a different way

i always tried to do the right thing
like there was some wrong thing to do
and then i always said the wrong thing
it didn’t matter much to you
cuz you’re smart enough to know what’s true.

maybe we should climb the walls, maybe you’ll love me still sideways
baby if we climb the walls, you’ll see me a different way
and i’ll see you a different way, but we’re no different today.
