About how politics can come between two friends, family members, co-workers, etc.
Story behind the song
A couple of months ago I wrote "Divided (We All Fall)", on how this presidential race is tearing this country apart. This is about the same thing except more personal, such as between two friends, family members, co-workers, etc.
Lyrics
VERSE 1
What's left to say
It's been too long
It's been this way
Who cares whose right or wrong
We both have seen it coming
From across the shallow chasm
I find myself wandering
Wondering what has happened
Nothing but a dried out gorge
Where the river used to flow
We used to walk the shore
But that was so many years ago
CHORUS:
Now we go our own way
Let me know if I should stay
It's so sad there's no more laughin'
Now we stand across the chasm
Now we know how much has changed
The wind will blow followed by the rain
It's so sad, all the rain comes crashin'
Still not enough to fill that chasm
VERSE 2:
Who would have guessed
Who could have seen
As we progressed
Away from how we had been
They say that people change
Lose their enthusiasm
And yet it seems so strange
To see you across the shallow chasm
Nothing but a dried out gorge
Where the river used to flow
We used to walk the shore
We used to know the way to go
CHORUS:
Now we go our own way
Let me know if I should stay
It's so sad there's no more laughin'
Now we stand across the chasm
Now we know how much has changed
The wind will blow followed by the rain
It's so sad, all the rain comes crashin'
Still not enough to fill that chasm
BRIDGE:
I don't know if we can ever find that specialness we had
I don't even know if we want it back so bad
Nothing but a dried out gorge
Where the river used to flow
We used to walk the shore
So many years ago
CHORUS:
Now we go our own way
Let me know if I should stay
It's so sad there's no more laughin'
Now we stare across the chasm
Now we know how much has changed
The wind will blow followed by the rain
It's so sad, all the rain comes crashin'
Still not enough to fill that chasm
We let pride get in the way
Of ever saying what we need to say
It's so sad we made our stand in
Miles apart across the chasm
I can hear the echo saying "goodbye"
Saying "goodbye"
Oooh, "goodbye".
