Lyrics
Wallpaper
You never pay attention,
You ignore that I am there.
Despite my ever-presence,
You're completely unaware.
You act like I am nothing
But a poster by the bed,
A non-essential backdrop
To the static in your head.
Chorus:
So I'm stuck on the wall
Like a clock in the hall,
But you never seem to take the time to notice me at all...
Just like wallpaper.
You're taking me for granted,
At least that is how it feels.
I am stretched and now I'm fading,
As the edges start to peel.
I blend into the background
Of your ordinary day.
I can't hang around forever,
When I could just roll away.
Chorus:
And I'm stuck on the wall
Like a clock in the hall,
But you never seem to take the time to notice me at all...
Just like wallpaper.
Bridge:
Since looks can kill and words can crush,
Just grab some paint and take your brush.
It won't undo me all that much,
If you paint me out of the picture...
Chorus:
"Cause I'm stuck on the wall
Like a clock in the hall,
But you never seem to take the time to notice me at all...
Just like wallpaper.
