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
