Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two a.m. and the shouting starts
Glass on the floor and a slamming door
I turn the radio up a little more
But I hear every word, every word
[Chorus]
Paper walls, paper walls
Everybody listens but nobody calls
Paper walls, paper walls
How long till somebody falls
[Verse 2]
Saw her on the stairway in the morning light
Sunglasses on when the sky’s not bright
She said “Good day” like nothing’s wrong
And I said “Good day” and I walked on
[Chorus]
Paper walls, paper walls
Everybody listens but nobody calls
Paper walls, paper walls
How long till somebody falls
[Bridge]
And I tell myself it’s not my place
Not my business, not my case
But silence has a sound of its own
And it’s louder than a ringing phone
[Chorus]
Paper walls, paper walls
Everybody listens but nobody calls
Paper walls, paper walls
How long till somebody falls
[Outro]
Paper walls
Somebody call
