Lyrics

[Chorus] I can't talk, I gotta go Don't call me back, I won't get the door Got to focus on the job 'Cause I got a new job climbing the walls [Pre-Chorus] I was grinding my teeth I was wasting my youth And using up my teeth [Chorus] Now I'm done chewing my nails Hanging my head, chasing my tail It got so bad I quit my job And I got a new job climbing the walls [Verse 1] Too much junk, too much junk Can we please clear out this house In the trunk, in the trunk And then we'll take it all to the dump [Pre-Chorus] Then we won't need the car 'Cause we'll stay where we are And I'll have all this room [Chorus] I got tired of pacing the floor Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor Walked away ever since I Got a new job climbing the walls [Pre-Chorus] I was grinding my teeth I was wasting my youth And using up my teeth [Chorus] Now I'm done chewing my nails Hanging my head, chasing my tail It got so bad I quit my job And I got a new job climbing the walls [Verse 2] The deep end, the deep end People talk a lot but they don't know They pretend, they pretend They don't really know how deep it goes [Pre-Chorus] Now I misunderstood Thought the wall was just good For starting blankly at [Chorus] I got tired of pacing the floor Sick of it all, I'm done with the floor Walked away ever since I Got a new job climbing the walls [Organ Solo] [Chorus] Now I'm done chewing my nails Hanging my head, chasing my tail It got so bad I quit my job And I got a new job climbing the walls Got a new job climbing the walls Got a new job climbing the walls
