We're striking matches on the tv

Setting fires on our phones

Bearing crosses we believe in dying on

Tempers flare, the flame flies higher

As we soar closer towards the sun

But I like to think too much damage ain't been done.

We're all so far, so far apart now

It's as deep as it is wide

We're about to fall apart now

If we can't reach the other side

We gotta find a way across the great divide.

Sometimes it seems that our convictions

Side of the fence that we stand on

Makes us all too damn different to get along

But I've seen strangers love each other

Like a mother does her son

What we see ain't only all that's going on.

We're all so far, so far apart now

It's as deep as it is wide

We're about to fall apart now

If we can't reach the other side

We gotta find a way across the great divide.

We're all so far, so far apart now

It's as deep as it is wide

We're about to fall apart now

If we can't reach the other side

We gotta find a way across the great divide

The great divide.
