We built a tall, tall tower
Towards the sun, towards the sun
Took some words and built a wall
And called it love, called it love
And somewhere in all the talking
The meaning faded out
Oh, I wonder
When did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Can we ever go back?
You're speaking a dead, dead language
You don't sound like yourself
I hope its just lost in translation
So why don't you show? Don't try to tell
And brick by brick we started crumbling
Will I find you when it falls?
Don't hold your breath
Look around
Try to add it up
Pin it down
But you can't
