The Bridge Builders

You asked me a question
 I think I'm somewhere else
 You said "You're not listenin'"
 You said that I never do
 I try, I try so hard
 So hard in this big world.
 It's big and so shiny
 All around it's like a big cartoon
 You ask me to help you build a bridge
 So that we could meet in between
 But I'm building my own bridge
 Somewhere, so far from here
 I'm building my own bridge
 I'll call you when I get there
 You said you were leaving
 I heard you 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
 I'm building my own bridge
 Don't worry, I won't stand in your way
 'cause 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
