Words and music: Mike Schmitz
Been watchin' you, listenin' to your velvet words
Funny how a little spark starts a fire
Seems like you've forgotten that we were brothers in the fight
Like a pup at your heels, I wanna know what's come between us
It's a barrier
A wall of doubt, mistrust and confusion
A barrier
You're throwin' me a crust when I'm starvin' for a meal
A barrier
I think I know you but I come away wonderin'
If we could only find a way to step across that line
And break the barrier
Yeah, you told me - don't wanna feel the labor pains
Just wanna see the child and keep on walkin'
But you're in this too - somehow I gotta get to you
All the jazzin' is fine - can't we just cut it to the bone?
And break the barrier
This wall of doubt, mistrust and confusion
A barrier
I'm shakin' my head as I hang up the phone
A barrier
I think I know ya but I come away wonderin'
If we could only find away to step across that line
A touch of fear and a pre-conceived notion
Really not meant to accuse you
Can't talk that way coz it's not in style
Just wanna reach you
A cloud of semantics in a sky of options
Don'tcha think I know your joy and feel your pain
To go ten feet gotta walk a mile
Because I love you, I wanna get it right
Break the barrier
A wall of doubt, mistrust and confusion
A barrier
Together we could turn it into a door
A barrier
I think I know you well enough to say
Together we can find a way to step across that line
Break the barrier
And break the barrier
Break the barrier
And break the barrier
Been watchin' you, listenin' to your velvet words
Funny how a little spark starts a fire
Seems like you've forgotten that we were brothers in the fight
Like a pup at your heels, I wanna know what's come between us
It's a barrier
