Keep trying to fix this thing

Find some common ground

Nothing ever changes

Walking 'round and 'round

In hindsight we were broken from the start

And certain people are better left apart

But I was raised in suburbs

With tall invasive trees on cul-de-sacs

Where people preach acceptance

Even as they talk behind your back

Where bedtime stories say that we're all friends

And never learned that some fences cannot mend

So I'd say, hey we should work on things like building bridges (Hey we should work on things like building bridges)

We should work on things like building bridges (We should work on things like building)

We'll take our time and I'll bet we just might get it right

We are two sides of a river, let's walk your side, then walk mine

Mine, woah, mine

So we walk and walk and try

We walk and walk and wonder why we stay here

Walking 'til we close our eyes

Yeah, we walk and walk and tell ourselves a lie

We walk in circles 'til we die

(Keep trying to build those bridges)

(Keep trying to build those bridges)

But the raging tide knocks it down

The eroding sides knock it down (Keep trying to build those bridges)

A bridge must have some solid ground

No solid ground, no solid ground (Keep trying to build those bridges)

Maybe it'd be better if we don't align

Tired of the water trying to combine

Don't want your way, I want mine

I want mine, I want mine

Tried to agree, don't feel the chemistry

So what if we dare just to let it be?

Don't want to smile and sing along

Baby, that's a different song

Yeah, we tried

But that don't mean we had to get it right

We are two sides of a river, you go your way, I'll go mine

Mine, woah, mine

We run out of time

There is no bridge, there is a border line

You go your way and I'll go mine

You go your way

I kept trying to fix this thing

Find some common ground

Nothing ever changes

We're walking 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
