Burning Bridges
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.
Didn't think the earth would stop and settle down
Never thought the words I spoke would haunt me now
I know they say the air gets thin when you cool it down
But it does, yeah it does
Burning bridges one more time
Burning bridges all my life
If I have to swim, if I have to fly
If I have to tear the seams from the sword and start a new life
I'll take a breath, I'll take my time
And I'll get there, yeah I'll get there
Couldn't keep a lonely ship from sailing
Couldn't keep a wounded heart from failing
And I couldn't keep an open door from caving in
Ice cold
Burning bridges one more time
Burning bridges all my life
If I have to swim if I have to fly
If I have to tear the seams from the sword and start a new life
I'll take a breath, I'll take my time
And I'll get there, yeah I'll get there
I crossed the line, yeah I set it on fire
Now i'm left with a half moon at midnight
Thought I was close, thought I made up my mine
But the ashes they say something different
Burning bridges one last time
If I have to swim. If I have to fly
You know I would tear the seams from the sword and start a new life
Yeah I'll take a breath, and I'll take my time
And I'll get there, yeah I'll get there
