A Better Bridge - Acoustic

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
Anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth and starts connecting me to you

Sick of towing party lines across the great divide
Sick of human hearts reduced to red or blue
There're 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
It's so easy to believe it's really 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

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

But I have to try

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
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
