matt gould - two sides lyrics

[verse 1]
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

[verse 2]
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
i never learned that some fences cannot mend

[chorus]
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

[post+chorus]
so we walk and walk and try
we walk and walk and wonder why we fail
we’re walking with closed eyes
yeah, we walk and walk and tell ourselves a lie
we walk as though one day we can arrive
[bridge]
(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 work of trying to combine
don’t want your way, i want mine
i want mine, i want mine
i’m sick of trying to agree, don’t feel the chemistry
what if we dared just to let it be?
don’t want to smile and sing along
baby, that’s a different song

[chorus]
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

[instrumental break]

[chorus]
we’re out of time
there is no bridge, there is a borderline
you go your way, i’ll go mine
you go your way
[outro]
kept trying to fix this thing
find some common ground
nothing ever changes
we’re walking ’round and ’round
and ’round and ’round and ’round and ’round
