A Better Bridge (Acoustic)

[Verse 1] It's so hard to understand just where you're coming from To try to see things from a different point of view I'm trying not to pigeonhole, or simply write you off [Pre-Chorus] But it's so much simpler if the parody is true Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you [Chorus] But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative That anyone who doesn't run with me's a fool And I believe together we can build a better bridge That spans the breadth and starts connecting me to you [Verse 2] I'm sick of toeing party lines across the great divide I'm sick of human hearts reduced to reds or blues Still often times my thoughts of you are cardboard cutout lies [Pre-Chorus] So much simpler if the parody is true It's so easy to believe it's really you It's so easy to believe it's really you [Chorus] 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 and starts connecting me to you [Bridge] Why is it so hard to just remember That you have a past, a face, a heart, a name? Yeah, it's so hard to just remember that We are less different than we are the same But I have to try [Chorus] 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 and starts 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 and starts connecting me to you
