If anyone was wondering what the lyrics to Walls are (maybe even Mike) here they are: Well, I built these walls with brick and stone I built them all around  I built these walls a long time ago  She ain't gonna take 'em down  No, she ain't gonna break 'em down  I built these walls with my two hands I laid every single part  And behind these walls, a coward stands  An ego and a broken heart  Oh, an ego and a broken heart  Oh, she comes around  Said, if I don't get lost I won't get found  Oh, and then turn around  Said, if I don't go up  I won't come down  I won't come down  When I built these walls around my chest  I built them thick and strong  Oh, and she can try her very best  But they've been here for too long For long ago, there was a girl  That stood there where she stands  And she reached right in and took my heart  And broke it in her hands  Oh, she broke it in her hands  Oh, and I suppose  If there's no rain clouds, nothing grows  Oh, and this I know  If I don't get high  I won't get low  Oh, and I find her strange  She wants to climb up  Where she could fall  Oh, she said, if I don't change  Then I'll live and die  Behind these walls  Behind these walls  Behind these walls Walls is my favourite Passenger song, so I was disappointed that (in my opinion) the most powerful lyric got missed. When I was a kid, I was an incredibly closed off person (hence, walls all around me) because I was hurting. It wasn't love necessarily, but the metaphor still applies, and this song speaks to me in a very personal way. Mike, I don't hold this mistake against you. You're released at least counts iTunes library 137 songs and I'm confident there are many, many more. It's just one, and from some years ago. I love your music and look forward to seeing you live (yesterday I bought tickets for your show in Toronto) in the fall once we've all been vaccinated.
