"Two Bridges" lyrics

"Two Bridges"

Of course you'll scoff
But since your phone's switched off
I'm going to call and leave
A message now
I'm gonna try and explain, somehow
What I'm hoping to achieve
And it's a coward's way
And I know I may
Come to regret this bit
But it's guaranteed
That, darling, you'll succeed
In talking me out of it

Cause it's not easy to explain
Without sounding a little bit insane
I'm in-between two bridges
That aren't so far apart
Where am I going? I don't care
It's better than not going anywhere
I'm in-between two bridges
And this is where I start

It's not that I never cared
It's that I'm really scared
Of where my life is going
I did love you
And maybe I still do
But there is no way of knowing
Just what I might achieve
If I don't ever leave
If I don't push myself
I know exactly what
You will be thinking but
There is nobody else

And yeah, I've mentioned it before
I just can't think straight anymore
I'm in-between two bridges
And it's breaking my heart
I'm not trying to be a jerk
I'm just trying to make it work
I'm in-between two bridges
And this is where we start
