Bridge

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.)
