A slow, somewhat meloncholy wash of music provides the background for this acoustic guitar driven ballad. The lyrics create scenes, like still-frames cut from a movie where the lead couple is breaking up. It speaks of the all-too-common problems we ofte

Lyrics
We danced by the window
Bare feet, summer heat
Said goodbye to the ones we loved
And got high in the moonlight
I tried to break through
The wall of pain around you
But you built the wall
And only you can tear it down
We drove around all night
Sad faces, unfamiliar places
Talked about the good times
That?s when I knew you were gone
I tried to break through
The wall of pain around you
But you built the wall
And only you can tear it down
We packed her things in boxes
Promised to write letters full of insight
She kissed me on the cheek
And left me standing in the street
I tried to break through
The wall of pain around you
But you built the wall
And only you can tear it down
Tear it down
