Lyrics

Burning Bridge

[Intro]

Come close to me

Come cross the bridge

[Verse 1]

I need to know what you have to say to me

We've been waiting all night long

What have you got to say to me?

We've been waiting all night long

Tell me all about it

We've been waiting all night long

Tell me please

We've been waiting all night long

Oh, I know

[Chorus 1]

I know it works for me

As we cross the bridge, the burning bridge

With flames behind us

We front the line

[Verse 2]

It's you and me, baby, against the world

We've been waiting all night long

I've got to know what you have to say

We've been waiting all night long

What have you got to say?

We've been waiting all night long

Oh-oh-oh

We've been waiting all night long

I've got to get close now

We've been waiting all night long

Tell me all about it

We've been waiting all night long

All night long

We've been waiting all night long

All night long

We've been waiting all night long

All night long

[Chorus 2]

It works for me

It's you and me, babe

We've been waiting all night long

Against the world

All night long

[Chorus 3]

It works for me

Let's cross the bridge

Oh, I know

We've been waiting all night long

I know, I know

We've been waiting all night long

All night long

[Outro]

It's you and me, baby

When you stand next to me, it's all right

It's you and me, baby

Against the world
