I’m writing this to you to say it’s okay
I guess I must have asked too much of you
I thought the whole thing through, but then thought 'no way'
But I couldn’t help but notice it was true

The stars are out to shine, but you were way gone
I saw it in the way you laced your shoe
You thought I might not see that you were way wrong
I know it 'cause it’s how I used to do

You’re building fences
You’re building fences

Our path beside the sea was firm at low tide
I wouldn't have believed it could disappear
Or that the gulf between us could get so wide
I can't even recall how we got here

You’re building fences
You’re building fences

I’m writing this to you to say it’s okay
I guess I must have asked too much of you
I thought the whole thing through, but then thought 'no way'
But I couldn’t help but notice it was true
You’re building fences
You’re building fences
You’re building fences
Building fences
