John Vanderslice - Fence lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm wondering where I stand Am I the front door or am I the land That you're living on Until you can move along I'm wondering, wondering where I stand [Verse 2] Could this be your plan? A blueprint you've drafted and understand With me just a practical afterthought Placed at the back of the lot Could this, could this be your plan? [Chorus] I am a fence in your backyard Why is it so hard And it's hardly love if I can't let you run Down to the gate, the latch is undone [Verse 3] I'm thinking of the places I've stood Am I a castle or am I wood That you'll paint upon Until it dries and peels on the lawn I'm thinking, thinking of the places I've stood [Verse 4] Look at all the leaves I've stopped Am I a line am I a spot That you'll wish upon Until I'm downed by wind and rot Look at, look at all the leaves I've stopped [Chorus] I am a fence in your backyard Why is it so hard? And it's hardly love if I can't let you run Down to the gate, the latch is undone And it's far enough if I can't see anyone Don't make me wait The latch is undone [Bridge] All the things I could be in your life The closest I'll ever get Fills me with regret and it makes no sense [Chorus] I am a fence in your backyard Why is it so hard? And it's hardly love if I can't let you run Down to the gate, the latch is undone And it's far enough if I can't see anyone Don't make me wait The latch is undone
