A Better Bridge
by Thrice

Album: Palms - Deeper Wells

Verse 1
It's so hard to understand just where you're coming from
To try to see things from a different point of view
I'm trying not to pigeonhole, or simply write you off

Pre-Chorus
But it's so much simpler if the parody is true
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you

Chorus
But I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me's a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth and starts connecting me to you

Verse 2
I'm sick of toeing party lines across the great divide
I'm sick of human hearts reduced to red or blue
But there are still often times my thoughts of you are cardboard cutout lies

Pre-Chorus
It's so much simpler if the parody is true
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you
Yeah it's so easy to believe it's really you

Chorus
And I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth and starts connecting me to you

Bridge
Why is it so hard to just remember
That you have a past, a face, a heart, a name?
Oh, it's so hard to just remember, yeah
That we are less different than we are the same

But I have to try
Yeah I have to try

Chorus
So I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth and starts connecting me to you

I refuse to buy into this tired narrative
That anyone who doesn't run with me is a fool
And I believe together we can build a better bridge
That spans the breadth and starts connecting me to you
