Analysis of Nails in the wall
Debra Vastag 1969 (Philadelphia)
So lately, I've been going crazy, trying to get you off my mind. Cause thoughts of you hang just like pictures, and gather dust over the time. Well we hung them up just like real lovers, and drove our nails into the wall. Cause we thought they'd be there forever, but we weren't permanent at all.
