I can get there on my own
You can leave me here alone
I'm just tryin' to do what's right
Oh, a man ain't a man unless he's fought the fight
I could never point you out
Waste of space in a faceless crowd
Tell me what I have to say
If you know what's right then you'll walk away
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
One by one I'm seein' them fall
Some just don't show up at all
I'm just here to fight the fire
Oh, a man ain't a man unless he has desire
And the walls come down
And the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
A Western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
Western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
You can leave me here alone
I'm just tryin' to do what's right
Oh, a man ain't a man unless he's fought the fight
I could never point you out
Waste of space in a faceless crowd
Tell me what I have to say
If you know what's right then you'll walk away
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
One by one I'm seein' them fall
Some just don't show up at all
I'm just here to fight the fire
Oh, a man ain't a man unless he has desire
And the walls come down
And the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
A Western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
When the walls come down
You tore out my heart
You threw it away
Western girl with Eastern eyes
Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits
Now there's nothing in the way
In the way
In the way
In the way

I think "Took a wrong turn" might mean that they chose a relationship that might not work, they got into a relationship in a surprise like a lot of relationships. Everything was nice and beautiful until the walls came down. The singer is trying to fight for the relationship because it's what he believes in but it's not working "Oh a man ain't a man unless he fought the fight". Although his efforts seem to go in vein and doesn't seem to work he is still inlove and this is why he is so hurt, the singer finds it hard to break up and he is trying to fight more, and blaming his attraction for the girl on nature - "Oh, a man ain't a man unless he has desire".
I love the endings of "Oh a man ain't a man unless...". Great song I wish they had more songs like that. The calmness and honesty in the song is just superb. If anyone from Kings Of Leon is reading this - You made a very good song, thank you and I love it, keep the amazing songs going!
