Steady hand, tireless touch
Some days dear your too much
Too much for me
Watch the phone, day and night
Waiting but praying you won’t decide
To call me to be by your side
I’m tired, and restless
From the distress you’re sending my way
You can’t help everyone
And believe me, that ain’t gonna change
Carve yourself into my blood and bone
Use me as a stepping stone
I am the one you run to, 'cause you always knew
There’s nothing I won’t do for you
So I’ll build another bridge
And I’ll dig another moat
Just to change the distance between us
By a meter or anything that comes close
'Cause I am balanced and sure
That you’re still immature
And I’ll keep pushing and pulling these waves
'Till they come back to shore
And if this all cancels out
When you line up the numbers in a row
I’ll be left
At Ground Zero
Your words weigh heavy and hard
And you show no regard
For anything this does to me
If I reach out, you shut down
But come back around
When I’m someone you need
You dig yourself into my blood and bone
You use me as your stepping stone
I am the one you’ll fall on, I can’t go on
Dragging you along
So I’ll build another bridge
And I’ll dig another moat
Just to change the distance between us
By a meter or anything that comes close
'Cause I am balanced and sure
That you’re still immature
And I’ll keep pushing and pulling these waves
'Till they come back to shore
And if this all cancels out
When you line up the numbers in a row
I’ll be left
At Ground Zero
So I’ll build another bridge
And I’ll dig another moat
Just to change the distance between us
By a meter or anything that comes close
'Cause I am suffocating but sure
That you’re still immature
But I’ll keep pushing and pulling these waves
'Till they come back to shore
And since this all cancels out
When you line up the numbers in a row
I’ll be left
At the start of the mess
