[Verse 1]

You were out walking the park

I was at the owl cafe

When the sirens rang

And no we're never gonna meet

But I feel you anyway

I was trying to get out of town

You passed in an ambulance

We were in a trance

And now we're never gonna meet

But I feel you anyway

Yeah, I feel you today


[Chorus]

Let them build a wall around us

I don't care, I'm gonna tear it down

It's just bricks and ill intentions

They don't stand a chance

I'll tear it down


[Verse 2]

Signals you send

Secrets you would never tell

People you've been

People you bend to your will

Darkness comes on

And lingers past the dawn

Tension, it lends

Tension, tension, waiting, waiting


[Chorus]

Let them build a wall around us

I don't care, I'm gonna tear it down

It's just bricks and ill intentions

They don't stand a chance

I'll tear it down

Mmm, tear it on down

Mmm


[Bridge]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, I'll tear it down

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, I'll tear it down


[Verse 3]

You were just getting off work

I was down at the city stacks

When the sky went black

And now we're never gonna meet

But I feel you anyway

Yeah, I feel you today


[Chorus]

Let them build a wall

I don't care, I'm gonna tear it down

It's just bricks and ill intentions

They don't stand a chance

I'll tear it down

Mmm, tear it on down
