A Better Bridge

(album: Deeper Wells - 2019)

It's so hard to understand just where you're coming from
To try to see things from a different point of view
Trying not to pigeonhole or simply write you off
But it's so much simpler if the parody is true

Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you

But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you

Sick of towing party lines across the great divide
Sick of human hearts reduced to red or blue
There are still often times my thoughts of you are cardboard cutout lies
It's so much simpler if the parody is true

Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you

And I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you

Why's it so hard to just remember
That you have a past, a face, a heart, a name?
Oh, it's so hard to just remember, yeah
That we are less different than we are the same

But I have to try
Yeah I have to try

So I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you

I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth of stars connecting me to you
