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 im building my own bridge
to somewhere so far from here
im building my own bridge
ill 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"
im lost and i dont 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
dont worry i wont stand in your way
im building my own bridge
my own bridge i can call my own
im bulding my own bridge
i'll call you when i get home
