Building To Break

There was a time not so long ago

My eyes could see what my hands couldn't sow

But my hands caught up and I began to growI could see the line; I was closing in

Past the wreckage I was wading in

Through the noisy crowds and over the din

But your words came down like rain

And your words came downI was building to break it downMy fist's full of sand that you helped to create

But if I don't squeeze then it all escapes

And the more I get the more it takes

'Cause your words fell down like hail

'Cause your words fell downI was building to break it downNow there's nothing more important to me

Than a guitar string and a melody

And you go and try to take that from me?

As your words fall down like fire

As your words fall downWe were building to break this down
