Gimme Something to Work With
Fox Run Five Song #8 of 8 in 2019
This one...well, it's a song either to Trump supporters or a lover who doesn't know how to communicate. It was written to work either way.

How did we go so wrong?
When did we take sides?
When did we build that wall?
How did it get so wide?
You’re speaking with your silence
The way you roll your eyes
It’s a subtle kinda violence
And you may not realize
If you want my trust
You’re gonna hafta earn it
Do you want to build this bridge
Or do you wanna burn it?
Give me something to work with
Do you wanna dance
You can take the lead
I’ll do my best to bend
If you just tell me what you need
Baby take my hand
Baby Its your move
I’m just trying to understand
Why you do the things you do
You know I’ve got a lot of pride
And you don’t want to hurt it
If you can try to speak your mind
It don’t have to be perfect
Baby, it’s worth it
Give me something to work with
It’s the hardest thing to do
It doesn’t have to be perfect
(Baby it’s worth it)
Give me something to work with
