i reach within my isolation
i harbor it, i honor it
you say you'd like to see me closer, of course you would,
you have no choiceand i cry cuz the weather has gotten to me
and i laugh at the people that i can't be cuz all their lives
are silly pictureshey now now now hey now hey baby,
baby's gettin older, baby's gettin older
hey now now now hey now heybaby,
the tide is turning, turning us awayyou'll build the wall i'll build the fountain
we'll wrestle it, and we'll conquer it
i think we'll live to see the mountains
of course we will, we have no choiceand i cry cuz the weather has gotten to me
and i laugh at the people that i can't be cuz all their lives
are pretty pictureshey now now now hey now hey baby
baby's gettin older, baby's gettin older
hey now now now hey now hey baby,
the tide is turning, turning us awayand it won't take long
we both knew this but i wasn't quite prepared
for my center of dying, and the heart of your pain,
all my words get lost and i can't speak
got my head stripped down, well i get weak
and the words fall out like forever december
soon it will matter, she won't mean nothinghey now now now hey now hey baby
baby's gettin older, baby's gettin older
hey now now now hey now hey baby,
the tide is turning, turning us away
