lyrics

Mr. Peña plays the saxophone
He was my teacher, the best I'd ever known
But when he came home he walked through the walls
But there's no one left for him at all

These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say

So many things I've left unsaid, get it all out of my broken head
So many things I'll never do, so many days to wait for you
Where I'd go, what I would think I would be I just wish I could see
I'd be okay, okay, okay

These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
These walls lock me away
What do I want to be today

I'm working to get ahead
And I'll struggle until the day I am dead
Everyone still scratches at the walls
Even though all they wanted it lost

These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say

What I want to be, I'll never know just where we were
If you were here, if you were by my side, I'd hold you close, so near to me
So nearly trodden down I'd run away from where we were
But now I'm here all alone, I wish that I was her

These walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
These walls lock me away
What do I want to be today

These walls lock me away
These walls lock me away
Away, away from here
Away, away
