[Verse 1]
Farewell, tradition
I always had my own way
You took up too much space in bed, anyway
Sing in your prime
And let go in your youth
I was born this way
I can't jump through hoops
[Chorus:]
For you, for you
They crawl these walls for you
[Verse 2]
Sleep in the sun
Lay on your back all day
I admire the way that you controlled your rage
I stayed up all night
To watch my issues crawl...
Crawl up these four walls
[Chorus:]
They crawled for you
For you
They crawled these walls for you
[Break:]
Whoa-oh-oh, [etc]
[Chorus:]
For you, for you
They crawl these walls for you
[Verse 3]
Focus on your future
And forget your friends
I understand why you did it
But broken homes never mend
And yes, you focused on your future
To forget your friends
(Broken homes never mend)
[Chorus 2 (?)]
No, not for you
Not for you
It didn't work for me
Why would it work for you?
No, not for you
Not for you
Oh, friend, it didn't work for me
Why would it work for you?
[Break]
I will crawl these walls no more for you
