These Words... These Walls

I'm a '90's kid, so I'm a sucker for the boy-band types.

I was, in high school, a pretty big fan of Teddy Geiger. For those who don't know, he's one of those pretty-boy types... All the girls loved him and he milked it for all it was worth, not that that's a bad thing.

It's been probably at least 3 years since I'd even thought about Geiger...

And then the other day, I was listening to Pandora, which I recommend wholeheartedly, and I was listening to my 2 stations: Maroon 5 and Gavin DeGraw.

(Sidenote: Pandora knows me so well. All the music it plays is what I want to hear.)

While I was listening, I realized I loved the song that was on and I had been singing along without even realizing it. When I looked up, I saw that my favorite Teddy Geiger song was playing: These Walls.

I LOVE THIS!

Because I can only say so much, I'll stop here and just include the lyrics that Pandora played and I knew by heart. <3


I can't believe what is in front of me
The water's rising up to my knees
And I can't figure out
How the hell I wound up here
Everything seemed okay when I started out the other day
Then the rain came pouring down
And now I'm drowning in my fears
And as I watch the setting sun
I wonder if I'm the only one

Cause everybody tries to put some love on the line
And everybody feels a broken heart sometimes
And even when I'm scared I have to try to fly
Sometimes I fall
But I've seen it done before
I gotta step outside these walls

I've got no master plan to help me out
Or make me stand up for
All the things that I really want
You had me too afraid to ask
And as I look ahead of me
I cry and pray for sanity
  Cause everybody tries to put some love on the line
  And everybody feels a broken heart sometimes
  And even when I'm scared I have to try to fly
  Sometimes I fall
  But I've seen it done before
  I gotta step outside these walls

These walls can't be my haven
These walls can't keep me safe here
And now I guess I gotta let them down

Cause everybody tries to put some love on the line
And everybody feels a broken heart sometimes, yeah
Even when I'm scared I have to try to fly
Sometimes I fall
But I've seen it done before

I got to break out...
I got to break out...
I got to step outside these walls
Love outside these walls
I feel my heart breaking
But its a brand new day
I'm going down
I'm stepping out
I'm stepping outside
These walls
(I've seen it done before.. I'm walking on, I'll walk it off, oh I'm moving on)
