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
