Bob Schneider The Bridge Builders lyrics

You asked me a question
I think I was somewhere else
And you said, "Not listening"
You said, I never do

But I try, I try so hard
But it's so hard in this big world
It's so big and so shiny and
All around us like a big cartoon

And you asked me to help you build a bridge
So we could meet in between
But I'm building my own bridge
To somewhere far from here

Building my own bridge
I'll call you when I get there

You said you were leaving
I heard it sweet and clear

You said, "It's not easy
With you, you're never here"

I'm lost, I don't know why
You seem so far away
I see you working so hard
Working so hard each day

Building your own bridge
To somewhere far away
Building your own bridge
Don't worry I won't stand in your way

I'm building my own bridge
My own bridge, I can call my own
I'm building my own bridge
I'll call you when I get home, ooh
