lyrics

Here I am again
Wondering about you
Heaven knows how much I spend
Lonely days without you

I just want to hold my treasure,
but there’s a battle in-between
A frozen fury fortress
finding fault with me

If I could build a bridge
All the way across the sea
If only I could fly over that ridge
But I guess I’ll climb a tree

My phantom conversations
are amazed that I’m still here at all
“Be true to yourself” they say,
but when I do, they turn their face away

Maybe I’ll finally see you
out there beyond the wall
Maybe you might see me, too
but maybe… maybe I’ll fall
But for one shining moment,
Maybe… maybe it was worth it after all
A hundred years from now
it won’t matter who was right or wrong
All the dues I paid and all the plans I laid
They made for a damn good song.
