(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 (that it's good) 

To experience the bittersweet 
To taste defeat 
Then brush my (your) teeth 
Experience the bittersweet 
To taste defeat 
Then brush my (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 every time I gained some ground 
I gotta turn myself around again 
(It's harder than it sounds 
Well every time I gained 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 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 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 my (your) teeth 
Experience the bittersweet 
To taste defeat 
Then brush my (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 every time I gained some ground 
I gotta turn myself around again 
(It's harder than it sounds 
Well every time I gained some ground 
I gotta turn myself around again) 

'Cause I struggle with forward motion 
I struggle with forward motion 
We all struggle with forward motion
