The Bridge

[Verse 1] On the bridge made of stone Stands a man all alone The bridge was his motivation It worked him to the bone [Verse 2] With every nail that he drove It drove him farther from his own He's punishing isolation But the bridge just feels like home (Home, home, home) [Verse 3] She didn't feel quite the same She despised the bridge and who he became She left in devastation She left him there in shame [Verse 4] He said, "I don't understand This is not part of your plan" But it got lost in the translation Like a castle made of sand Oh, a castle made of sand [Chorus] In all the years he's spent struggling He's been haunted at every turn He fights the fear as he's growing old And remembers in all that he's learned that we build and burn (Burn, burn, burn) Burn [Post-Chorus] I got some if you need it [Verse 5] Here I am all alone On that bridge made of stone We've got smothering motivation I've been working to the bone [Verse 6] In the end it's what I've known It's what I hate, but I have to show The bridge is my dedication The bridge just feels like home Yeah, the bridge just feels like home, yeah, yeah [Chorus] In all the years I've been struggling I've been haunted at every turn I fight the fear as I'm growing old And try to remember all that I've learned that we build and burn [Chorus] All the years he's been struggling He's been haunted at every turn (That we build and burn) He fights the fear as he's growing old Remind us in all that he's learned that we build and burn (Burn, burn, burn) [Post-Chorus] I've got some if you need it
