Separate Clouds

Verse 1

Saw my neighbor in the driveway yesterday

He was shouting at the radio

Something 'bout a politician's empty promises

And which way the country ought to go

I waved my hand he didn't see me standing there

Both our lawns are turning brown

Same damn drought is killing all the grass out here

But we won't ever meet halfway across this town

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Chorus

We're living on the edges now

Left and right and up and down

Screaming from our separate clouds

Who's gonna come and pull us to the middle

Verse 2

She's my sister called me up at half past two

Said she's blocking all her old friends

Something 'bout a post she read that made her blue

Now the family dinners never begin

I said remember building forts out in the rain

Blanket walls that never stood

Now we build them higher just to feel the same

I wish I could reach you if I could

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder

Don't you wonder

Chorus

We're living on the edges now

Left and right and up and down

Screaming from our separate clouds

Who's gonna come and pull us to the middle

Bridge

Maybe it's pride

Maybe it's fear

Maybe we forgot what brought us here

Different tongues but one lament

Nobody knows how the middle went

Chorus

We're living on the edges now

Left and right and up and down

Screaming from our separate clouds

Who's gonna come and pull us to the middle

Outro

Pull us to the middle

Maybe we'll meet there someday

Middle

Maybe we'll meet there
