Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're fooling around
I can hear through these walls
And I hear every sigh, every sound
I can hear through these walls
In the dark, with the shades pulled down
[Verse 2]
Every word that they say
Every move they make
Feels it's coming my way
[Verse 3]
My favorite moment
Putting the glass up
Next to the wall
[Verse 4]
Imagination
Though I see nothing
I hear it all
[Verse 5]
Putting my sign up
Do not disturb me
Speak or shout
[Verse 6]
Inside out
Ooh, and my clothes, they're all laid out
[Verse 7]
I can see through my windows
I can see the girls and the boys
I can see through my windows
And I can imagine the noise
I can see through my windows
I can see them playing with toys
[Verse 8]
Oh, I hope it won't end
Ooh, if I promise to touch
Just be a friend
[Verse 9]
Life is so lonely
And I don't get high off
Just being me
[Verse 10]
I like pretending
Wanting to touch them
Wanting to see
[Verse 11]
It's only normal
Creeping behind you
Now, don't shout
[Verse 12]
'Cause it's all right
They keep the windows locked
And the door shut tight
[Verse 13]
Ooh, I'm feeling like I'm locked in a cage
No way in, no way out
Oh, and I get so lonely
Am I really asking a lot?
Just to reach out and touch somebody?
[Verse 14]
'Cause when I look through my windows
Or open my door
I can feel it all around me
[Verse 15]
And I can hear through these walls
I can hear it when they're fooling around
I can hear through these walls
I can hear every sigh, every sound
Ooh, I can hear through these walls
In the dark, with the shades pulled down
[Verse 16]
And every word, ooh, that they say
Ooh, every move they make
Feels it's crawling my way
[Verse 17]
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
