about

Everybody deserves to have their say. Some of us have buildings to paint, others have songs to write. This is about me writing one of my many* hit singles**.

*Up for debate.
**Depends on your definition of "hit single."

lyrics

v1:
December 1995
I got a song full of questions humming in my mind
It's pretty late, but I feel alive
At the start of the trail I've been trying to find
-----
I was trying to find a life that rhymed

v2:
In my childhood room, staring at the walls
Christmas Eve, as I recall
My old twin bed made me feel so small
I almost gave up, just another close call
-----
A song can be more than a song

ch:
So I'm starting to think that maybe you know me
'cause I've pulled down my walls brick by brick
If there's one thing that this life has shown me
We'd better forgive pretty quick
So I'm telling you, friends
Today might be all we get

v3:
I was talking to me, saying, "open up"
Tried to take my advice, but not too much
I kept pushing back, kept getting stuck
But I came around, with a little luck
-----
Now I don't mean to interrupt

ch:
But I'm starting to think that maybe you know me
'cause I've pulled down my walls brick by brick
If there's one thing that this life has shown me
We'd better forgive pretty quick
So I'm telling you, friends
Today might be all we get

br:
I'm not sure I care, but could you love me now?
Can you hear my voice?
Tell me about the sound
We can scream that it's not fair
We can go 'round & 'round
We don't have a choice
What's in our heart, that's what counts

v4:
Late December '21
Still finding my way, just like everyone

ch:
So I'm starting to think that maybe you know me
'cause I've pulled down my walls brick by brick
If there's one thing that life has shown me
We'd better forgive pretty quick

ch:
I'm starting to think that maybe you know me
'cause I've torn down my walls brick by brick
If there's one thing that life has shown me
We should all show some love pretty quick
So I'm telling you, friends
Today might be all we get
