My North Wall
Go ahead and look through my things
I left "˜em there for you
All I ask is that you
leave the posters on the wall
And after all this time I realize
It was never that bad at all
You might think that I'm smiling
But this is how I bare my teeth
And don't confuse this view of Hollywood
With a view of the Earth
I think I'll close my eyes
Let the curtain fall on this night
Sometimes you fail
And some things you never learn
But these days I try
And now I think I understand why
You tore my pages from your book
And cast them in the fire
But they won't burn
They won't burn
Go ahead and look through my things
I'm sure you've seen "˜em all before
Now I'm gone I wonder
Do they mean a little more
To you I leave these final words:
"Look at the wall and realize
It was never that bad at all"
Sometimes you fail
And some things you never learn
But these days I try
And now I think I understand why
You tore my pages from your book
And cast them in the fire
But they won't burn
They won't burn
