The Bridge

[Verse 1: Travie McCoy]
Yeah, imagine them pushing your last buttons
And having everything you want, but still having nothing
You probably think that you could handle that
But if I was to hand you my life, you’d probably hand it back
Haha and I take that with a smile
Finally free, feel like I'm running naked in the wild
See I was doing fine to the naked eye
I almost didn’t make it, I was in that tub in France plotting my great demise
Like, what if I laid down on the train tracks?
Would they care if I went for a walk and never came back?
Fuck that, this is Travie at his best
And that’d only satisfy everybody that matters less
I just ate off the plate that I was served 'til I was winning
So when life threw me lemons, I added zest
Fuck that feeling that you get on the first when you lost the rent
'Cause everything that matters, the most don’t cost a cent
And everything that matters the least can cost your life
So whatever, it don’t matter to me
There goes your price
Gingerbread man fresh out the oven
Running fast as I can, trying not to be another flash in the pan

[Chorus: Elohim]
I’m standing on the bridge tonight
With one foot on the edge
I’m trying to break the spell you put on me
With one foot on the edge

[Verse 2: Travie McCoy]
The other day I was looking out the window
Sitting, thinking how my cousin took his own life (Life)
We had just exchanged words
So I thought it was my fault
Should’ve seen me, I was buggin' out the whole night
Finding real friends is harder than a textbook
They just wanna know how many pages in your check book
Opportunists out here looking for their next look
But I can see the enemy and I don’t need that energy
Those paper cuts hurt enough, I quit
Good thing I never cut my wrists
That was a close call
And now I design my own toys
Just closed a deal on a capsule collection
Now that’s a clothes call
I’m cut from a different cloth always gave you the real
Got more cloth, then I gave you the quilt
Like stay warm in summer, I still gave you the chills
Until I found out what my purpose is
And I haven’t quit working since
So stand up like there’s fire under your seat
All I wanna do is inspire you at the least
I shoot for the stars trying to fly already
And grow wings like I died already

[Pre-Chorus: Elohim]
I’m standing on the bridge tonight
With one foot on the edge
I’m trying to break the spell you put on me
With one foot on the edge

[Chorus: Travie McCoy & Elohim]
I’ve been thinking about it, I’ve been up all night
I wasn’t supposed to be here, I’m on borrowed time
I never really thought about tomorrow
I climb the ladder to the bridge, I'ma tell you how I went
I’ve been thinking about it, I’ve been up all night
I wasn’t supposed to be here, I’m on borrowed time
I never really thought about tomorrow
I climb the ladder to the bridge, I'ma tell you how I went
I’ve been thinking about it (I’m standing on the bridge tonight)
I’ve been up all night
I wasn’t supposed to be here, I’m on borrowed time
I never really thought about tomorrow (With one foot on the edge)
I climb the ladder to the bridge, I'ma tell you how I went
I’ve been thinking about it, I’ve been up all night (I’m trying to break the spell you put on me)
I wasn’t supposed to be here, I’m on borrowed time
I never really thought about tomorrow (With one foot on the edge)
I climb the ladder to the bridge
I'ma tell you how I went

[Outro: Travie McCoy & Elohim]
I climb the ladder to the bridge
I'ma tell you how I went
I climb the ladder to the bridge
I'ma tell you how I went
The bridge
