Fences

I dont know the half of you
You tried to shut me out
just like you wanted to
So you kicked me down the avenue,
Tried to build a fence
but then you left a view

Now Im jaded, frustrated at the
cracks all in the pavement
Cause they're more
permanent than we are

And these games that youre playing
Are they worth more than me staying
Cause I won't love you from afar

So if you want me
when the lights go down
Boy be reckless,
let down your defenses
Told you im leaving if you tell me to
and I meant it
So pick your fences

You built it up, lock me out,
shut the door
So you pick it up,
throw your fence to the floor
Told you im leaving if you
tell me to and I meant it,
so pick your fences

I saw a different side to us
Once a upon a time
having me was enough
Dont know where we lost the love
But now we're building fences
'stead of building trust

Im jaded, frustrated
at the cracks all in the pavement
Cause they're more
permanent than we are

And these games that youre playing
Are they worth more than me staying
Cause I won't love you from afar

So if you want me
when the lights go down
Boy be reckless, let down your defenses
Told you im leaving if you tell me to
and I meant it
So pick your fences

You built it up, lock me out,
shut the door
So you pick it up,
throw your fence to the floor
Told you im leaving if you tell me to
and I meant it, so pick your fences

So if you want me
when the lights go down
Boy be reckless,
let down your defenses
Told you im leaving if you tell me to
and I meant it
So pick your fences

You built it up, lock me out,
shut the door
So you pick it up,
throw your fence to the floor
Told you im leaving if you tell me to
and I meant it, so pick your fences
