| Our heart burns broken at the ends, they fail us, keep building | |
| My lungs are wax inside my ribs, you’re burning, well I’m breathing | |
| This back breaks walked on from carrying friends, can’t stop now, still working | |
| Your life’s like rain drops on my tongue, I believe you, keep raining | |
| And it’s alright, it’s alright, we are not right now complete | |
| And I’m alright, you’re gonna be alright, we might never be complete | |
| But the water keeps rising, it’s rising, everybody get into the water | |
| And hold each others hands and lives, let’s all push our hearts together | |
| We’re gonna leave these shores right now, be everything we’ve never been | |
| But you gotta swear to promise that we’ll never go back again, ever again | |
| And we’re not just islands lying beside each others shorelines | |
| We’re all bound with veins and hopes, we are not each others ghosts | |
| Our hearts are abridged, let's build bridges to each other | |
| So this river won’t take us under | |
| Filled with monsters and goblins, they keep dragging the bottom | |
| Our life is a bridge, let’s build bridges to each other | |
| And pray we don’t go under, oh these careless waters | |
| I’m trying not to confuse being used with giving all I am | |
| By being used and giving everything I have, all I am | |
| So I’ll build a bridge with hollow bones filled with hollow teeth | |
| Inside a hollow heart, with the insides carved | |
| And let the blood in these veins freeze | |
| Let the water in these veins freeze and break and flood the dam | |
| We are all we have, this is all we need, hold on it may never end | |
| And I might have to drink my teeth again if I wash up on the coast | |
| So I’ll build a bridge with all that’s left, and not make any more new ghosts | |
| Show me your life, wide and bright, I hope that patience fills the seams | |
| Keep what’s inside, dry and right, you arch the frame I’ll span the beams | |
| Our lives are a bridge for us to give, I want to build a better bridge | |
| From every wrong we’ve done to each other, if I forgive will you forgive? | |
| 'Cause one day we’re gonna close our eyes for death or rest | |
| And abandon ourself, this weak mind and breath | |
| And the columns we made, and roots we grew down deep | |
| Will be pulled and gathered in to firewood, and burnt for heat | |
| But when the tension shifts, and these braces turn | |
| I’ll try and build a better bridge | |
| And when all our piers burn, and the hinges miss | |
| I’m gonna build a better bridge | |
| Our hearts are abridged, let’s build bridges to each other | |
| So we don’t take ourselves under | |
| Our heart burns broken at the ends, they fail us, keep building | |
| My lungs are wax inside my ribs, you’re burning, I’m still breathing | |
| This back breaks walked on carry friends, can’t stop now, still working | |
| Your life’s like rain drops on my tongue, I believe you, keep raining | |
| Our lives are a bridge for us to give, I want to build a better bridge | |
| From every wrong we’ve done to each other, if I forgive will you forgive? | |
| Our hearts are abridged, let’s build bridges to each other | |
| So this river won’t take us under, so we don’t take ourselves under | |
| Our lives are a bridge, let’s build bridges to each other | |
| And pray we don’t go under, oh these careless waters | |
| Our lives are a bridge for us to give, I want to build a better bridge | |
| From every wrong we’ve done to each other, if I forgive will you forgive? | |
| Our lives are a bridge for us to give, I want to build a better bridge | |
