Walls Lyrics

Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
And they fade away
If I never do nothing
I'll get you back someday

'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

And all around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
It holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky

But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

Some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
And part of me is gone

But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

Baby, you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

What is the Meaning of Walls?

This heartfelt ballad explores the resilience of love amidst life's inevitable challenges and changes. The song uses evocative metaphors to paint a picture of a relationship that endures through good times and bad, symbolized by diamonds and rocks, open doors and blocked roads. The recurring lyric about a heart so big it could crush a town emphasizes the immense capacity for love, while acknowledging that even the strongest defenses ('walls') can crumble under pressure. Yet, there is an underlying optimism in accepting change as part of life – things may end or continue, parts may be carried or left behind. Ultimately, this song is a tribute to enduring love that remains steadfast despite life's ups and downs.
