The Bridge Builders

you asked me a question
I think I was somewhere else
you said you're not listening
you said I never do
but I try I try so hard
but it's so hard in this big world
it's so big and so shiny and
all around us like a big cartoon
you asked me to help you build a bridge
so we could meet inbetween
but I'm building my own bridge
to somewhere far from here
I'm building my own bridge
I'll call you when I get there

you said you were leaving
I heard you sweet and clear
you said it's not easy
with you you're never here
I'm lost and I don't know why
you seem so far away
I see you working so hard
working so hard each day
building your own bridge
to somewhere so far away
your building your own bridge
don't worry I wont stand in your way
I'm building my own bridge
my own bridge I can call my own
I'm building my own bridge
I'll call you when I get home
