I'm standing at the line with my hands full of keys
Map says it's right there but the gate won't swing for me
There's a chain on the path and a sign in red paint
I can see the next block still it says I can't
Wait a minute tell me what I missed
Same sky overhead so why is this like this
Why can't I walk from here
Why can't I walk from here
It looks so close to me but it still won't set me free
Why can't I walk from here
Why can't I walk from here
Say it plain say it clear
Why can't I walk from here
A bus pulls up slow then it rolls right on
I tap my shoe twice like I've done nothing wrong
There's a fence by the curb and a ditch full of rain
Every shortcut I know turns back into pain yeah
Wait a minute tell me what I missed
Same sky overhead so why is this like this
Why can't I walk from here
Why can't I walk from here
It looks so close to me but it still won't set me free
Why can't I walk from here
Why can't I walk from here
Say it plain say it clear
Why can't I walk from here
Maybe I'm tired maybe I'm boxed in
Maybe the door was there and I never got in
Why can't I walk from here oh why can't I walk from here
It looks so close to me but it still won't set me free
Why can't I walk from here
Why can't I walk from here
Say it plain say it clear
Why can't I walk from here
