Lyrics
Verse
THIS THING THAT'S COME BETWEEN US
DIDN'T GET HERE OVERNIGHT
THE DISTANCE HAS BEEN GROWING
FOR SOME TIME
DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT HERE
JUST KNOW IT FEELS SO WRONG
WHEN HURTFUL WORDS AND SILENCE
BUILD UP LIKE STONE ON STONE
Chorus
WHAT'S IT LIKE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE WALL
IS IT SO LONELY YOU COULD CLIMB IT
ARE YOU WISHIN' IT WOULD FALL
DO YOU MISS ME OVER THERE
LIKE I MISS YOU OVER HERE
WHAT'S IT LIKE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE WALL
Verse
IF I WOULDA LISTENED
TO THE THINGS YOU DIDN'T SAY
OR SEEN IT IN YOUR EYES WHEN
YOU LOOKED AWAY
IF I'D FOUGHT A LITTLE HARDER
WHEN I WRESTLED WITH MY PRIDE
MAYBE I'D BE HOLDING YOU
INSTEAD OF ASKIN' YOU TONIGHT
Chorus
WHAT'S IT LIKE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE WALL
IS IT SO LONELY YOU COULD CLIMB IT
ARE YOU WISHIN' IT WOULD FALL
DO YOU MISS ME OVER THERE
LIKE I MISS YOU OVER HERE
WHAT'S IT LIKE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE WALL
TAG
FROM WHERE I STAND A SWEET SURRENDER
WOULD BE THE SWEETEST THING OF ALL
WHAT'S IT LIKE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE WALL
