build them up-high and strong so you'll never have to hurt too long put them up-til they surround and there's no real you left to be found hold it up-high above no fear of hope or trust or love close it up-and hold your ground and wait until it's time to finally close it down "even if you want--you can't hurt me now" (this isn't easy to admit but i don't think i'm believing it-i'm afraid this time)
