"Walls" lyrics

"Walls"
(originally by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers)

Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked

Sundowns are golden
And they fade away
But if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day

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

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
Yes, they do

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

"Tom Petty is a musical hero to us. We were lucky enough to tour with him, and this song 'Walls' is the song Wes' wife walked down the aisle to. We recorded our version backstage before a show after Tom died, and the proceeds will go to MusiCares – an organization that helps all kinds of musicians." - The Lumineers.
