Wait a minute why cant i walk from here

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
