I could build a wall between me and you Lay the bricks one by one so they don’t resemble a view It would be dark and cold No fresh air would fill my lungs And I wouldn’t see the evening Sun
But if I build it tall enough Would the warmth be held in High enough so I don't feel your presence near my skin
I could take the short walk home Away from the park Be in the open spaces where the street lamps light up the dark But if I walked fast enough Would the light hold me, be warm enough So I don’t feel the shadows in the dark
