Early Adopted - Bridges lyrics

Everything I'm about to say Is everything I need you to know Even if you never hear it Went to her sister's house To let her know I had a flight It was scheduled for the morning And her husband, that's my best friend They got married four years ago In that time, made three of the best kids I went to see 'em Hoping that they'd remember me They did, but barely Visits not frequent as they would nearly be Back when I was with Auntie Uncle Mike's what they call me At least that's what I wrote in Christmas cards before they were talking Look, it's been daunting It's been haunting me That was my family At least that's what I thought they'd be Weird to think 'bout 'em not being in my future Or in a different way, without you included Dodge cars not to be there at the same time And I can't see your boyfriend Sorry, I'm not the bigger guy I miss the driveway Reminds me how I used to see cul de sacs as another dead end Now I see 'em as a place to raise kids [Hook] Please, wait a while Before you make up your mind Can't you just lie to me Like we might get one more try I'm imposing now Because I have to Hope this don't make you uncomfortable Who ever said love was organized? [Chorus] And burning bridges is Only incentive to swim I don't mind getting wet As long as we both fell in And we was on the same end Don't care who knows it Don't give a sh** who I offend Because I love you, as a man At that time I was a kid I'm sure now Admittedly, I wasn't then Picturing sled cabins in Quebec House boats in Paris Brushing up on my French, yeah Te mon cherie Travel round the world vacationing But called New Hampshire home I grew up to be such a gentleman Wish you could see I feel alone I saw my breath in Texas Rain in Nevada I sweat through a St. Paul December I'm painfully nostalgic Looking back at photos of us camping in the mountains That one of us dragging a tarp together I just found it Not sure why I do this to myself Or why I allow it For the same reason, I still have your bobby-pins and hair elastics I coulda thrown 'em out But that's all that I have left [Hook] [Chorus] And they're falling down now I hope the nails hit him Cause I need him like a hole in the head I'll drown my acquaintances Very pleased to be your acquaintance (repeated) Was time the victor Or are hours stronger than the hands of a clock? See, I've been doing some research And I've been studying the parts And it's really just springs, numbers, and arms See, it's not that hard I mean, I think I can take it apart with your help And everything in this life is intimidating until you start [Hook] [Chorus]
