Austin Collins - Bridge Street Lullaby lyrics

I give you metallic license Spin your wheels until they cough d**h's got all its fingers hanging down like broken slats If I speak to you in metaphors And tongues that make you sing Will you drop the act of getting by and pray for shiny things But you tried to make it better And I tried to understand That night we walked across the bridge You held on to my hand I've got time to wait for you You crossed my mind a time or two I'm alright, you're ok Close your eyes . . . babe I come home to you calling And you're waiting by the phone The black and red pa**ing signs forever pushing on Soot-colored window sills Solemn-covered views Accentuate the distance, darkening the hews Accents of your inflections We're starving for the same Old feelings start and flutter Like your dress a picture frame CHORUS I wish it were as harmless As you wanted it to be Could justify the things I do Each night so I can sleep
