.:building up:.

I lost it watching you just stand,
With slushy snow on the ground,
And cigarette in hand,
With strangers all around.

You finally told me that,
Once and for all,
I had my chance at bat,
And I really missed the ball.

So now it's time to build some walls,
And end the pain that's lasted so long,
Now it's time to build up some walls,
Blocking out what I did wrong.

Patience is a virtue lost on me,
Since all I had to do was wait for you,
But that was something I didn't see,
Because it seems I missed your clue

So now it's time to build some walls,
And end the pain that's lasted so long,
Now it's time to build up some walls,
Blocking out what I did wrong.

Impatience grabbed me by the wrist
And led me from your heart,
I fight it but it takes me,
To another new interest,

And in my Mind I start...

Start to build some walls
To block you out
Building walls
To keep it out
Building walls
To end the pain
Building walls
Is less of a strain.
