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 in between
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 won't 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
