"The Bridge" lyrics

On the bridge made of stone
Stands a man all alone
The bridge was his motivation
It worked him to the bone

With every nail that he drove
It drove him farther from his own
In his punishing isolation
But the bridge just feels like home

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

He said, "I don't understand
This is not part of the plan"
It got lost in the translation
Like a castle made of sand
Oh oh

All the years he's been struggling
He's been haunted at every turn
He fights the fear as he's growing old
Remembers in all that he's learned we build and burn

I've got some if it needed
I've got some if it needed
I've got some if it needed

Here I am all alone
On that bridge made of stone
I've got smothering motivation
I've been working to the bone

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
Oh oh
The bridge just feels like home
Oh oh
Oh oh oh

All the years I've been struggling
I've been haunted at every turn
I fight the fear as I'm growing old
Tryna remember all that I've learned we build and burn

All the years I've been struggling
I've been haunted at every turn
Fighting the fear as I'm growing old
Tryna remember all I'd learn we build we burn

I've got some if it needed
I've got some if it needed
I've got some if it needed
