Lyrics

Before The Bridge

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I will walk you home and I will leave you there

I'll take the books you stole

And leave the heart that bared - this soul

I hope you have what you need

(I hope the moon is listening)

I hope you have what you need

(I gave my soul, my body)

I hope you have what you need

(I hope the moon is listening)

I hope you have what you need

(I gave you soul and body)

And if things hadn't changed

I would have buried you deep in my arms

And if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the stars

Whatever has us know

I can't forget, somehow

For, to forget a love, is to regret

And, what is love, is regret

And, what isn't love is a test

And if things hadn't changed

I would have buried you deep in my arms

And if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the stars

Far far away

Whatever has us now

I can't forget somehow

For, to forget a love, is to regret
