| Rain falls down in concentration
|
| I finally come to the realization
|
| That this place I’d once forsaken
|
| Will consume my generation
|
| Countless, endless summers
|
| Opposing everything we’ve worked for
|
| It was foolishness that made us wish
|
| We could trade it all away
|
| But that was years ago he shrugs
|
| Back when we smiled and tipped our mugs
|
| A time when boys were men
|
| Friends never stood alone
|
| Do you remember when I said
|
| I’d never walk this town again
|
| But you didn’t believe me and now
|
| We cross our bridges only when we reach them
|
| We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
|
| We cross, we burn
|
| We cross and we burn
|
| Day after day this is the nothing we’ve learned
|
| Progress for their promise
|
| Hold my breath, now we’re all hostage
|
| Bite your tongue there son you’re just no one
|
| Too young to know the beat
|
| And I’m not asking you for much more
|
| Only something I could strive for
|
| If I keep pride outside my head then
|
| In my heart there will be peace
|
| But that was years ago he screams
|
| Back when we still believed our dreams
|
| And now we’re left to doubt
|
| Outstanding self owed debts
|
| Do you remember when we said
|
| We’d never end up just like them
|
| Lost and bereaved
|
| We cross our bridges only when we reach them
|
| We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
|
| We cross, we burn
|
| We cross and we burn
|
| Day after day is the nothing we’ve learned?
|
| Can’t we see what we owe to ourselves? |
