Building To Break Lyrics - The Whiskey Saints

There was a time not so long ago 

My eyes could see what my hands couldn't sow 

But my hands caught up and I began to grow 

I could see the line; I was closing in 

Past the wreckage I was wading in 

Through the noisy crowds and over the din 

But your words came down like rain 

And your words came down 

I was building to break it down 

My fist's full of sand that you helped to create 

But if I don't squeeze then it all escapes 

And the more I get the more it takes 

'Cause your words fell down like hail 

'Cause your words fell down 

I was building to break it down 

Now there's nothing more important to me 

Than a guitar string and a melody 

And you go and try to take that from me? 

As your words fall down like fire 

As your words fall down 

We were building to break this down
