Lucy Wainwright Roche - Bridge lyrics

Here we are, two across a river-- Having given all we have got Tie a ribbon into a knot Anywhere to go from this corner And the window allowance on the bridges Makes the bravest the one to cross You may have gambled things a little Just to meet me in the middle and lost And I wanna tell you, "Go for it any way." And I wanna tell you, "Reach out your hand." And I wanna tell you, "You can make it all the way over," But I know, I know you can't Oh, I know you can't Oh, and you're not sleeping in your bed tonite; You're hoping now to catch what's keeping you awake ...just your body's mistake--something to fix fast I took some pictures and I signed some autographs last year When the circus came to town As for me, I'm just remembering the sound of that And I wanna tell you, "Go for it any way." And I wanna tell you, "Reach out your hand." And I wanna tell you, "You can make it all the way over," But I know, I know you can't Oh, I know you can't We're straining our ears just to hear Is there a ticket to the road around the matter at hand? Understand, it won't find you It's already behind you And through is the only way left And I wanna tell you, "Go for it any way." And I wanna tell you, "Reach out your hand." And I wanna tell you, "You can make it all the way over," But I know, I know you can't Oh, I know you can't (We're straining our ears.)
