Ground Zero

(álbum: The Strings That Tie Us Together - 2018)

Steady hand, tireless touch
Some days, dear, you're too much
Too much for me
Watch the phone day and night
Waiting and praying you won't decide
To call me by your side

I'm tired and restless
From the distress you're sending my way
I can't help everyone
Believe me, that ain't gonna change

Carve yourself into my blood and bone
Use me as a stepping stone
I am the one you run to
'Cause you always knew there's nothing I won't do
For you

So I'll build another bridge
And I'll dig another moat
Just to change the distance between us
By a meter
Or anything that comes close
'Cause I am balanced and sure
That you're still
Immature
And I'll keep
Pushing and pulling these waves
Til they come back
To shore

And if this all cancels out
When you line up the numbers in a row
I'll be left
At ground zero

Your words way heavy and hard
And show no regard
For anything that starts to bleed
If I reach out, you shut down
Then come back around
When I'm someone you need

You dig yourself into my blood and bone
You use me as your stepping stone
I am the one you fall on
I can't go on dragging you along

So I'll build another bridge
And I'll dig another moat
Just to change the distance between us
By a meter
Or anything that comes close
'Cause I am balanced and sure
That you're still
Immature
And I'll keep
Pushing and pulling these waves
Til they come back
To shore

And if this all cancels out
When you line up the numbers in a row
I'll be left
At ground zero

So I'll build another bridge
And I'll dig another moat
Just to change the distance between us
I don't care how far or how close
'Cause I am suffocating but sure
That you're still immature
And I'll keep
Pushing and pulling these waves
Til they come back
To shore

And since this all cancels out
When you line up the numbers in a row
I'll be left
At the start of the mess
I'll be left
At ground zero
