lyrics

I am as bitter and as weary and as wasted as day old coffee in a cup
I am as close as I can be
Not close enough
As dull as diamond in the rough
As blank as a poker player’s bluff
As drowned as a drop of water in a summer flood

As stretched as a string about to snap
As hard as a hand about to slap
As brittle as a bone about to break
As distant as a dreamer when they wake

I remember when we built that wall
We drew a line from here to there
We made it strong and tall
A year to make it long
A year to make it wide
A year for you to climb to the other side
I remember when we built that wall

As scarred as a tattoo on your skin
As hushed as a secret or a sin
As sharp as a candle when it burns
As lonely as a lesson when it’s learned

As hazy as a memory when it fades
As heavy as the promise that I made
I held my heart out like a stone

As silent as a word we didn’t speak
Now we’re strangers when we meet
These are the things I wish I’d known

I am as bitter and as weary and as wasted as day old coffee in a cup
I am as close as I can be
Not close enough
I am as close as I can be
Not close enough
