The Bridge

We put it off this long because we had to 'Cause as long as I ignored it, I still had you Yeah we both knew you had to leave Ain't no ocean here in Tennessee We sure did run that clock down, didn't we? Now I could dig my heels in deep Just to keep you close to me But damn it that ain't love So I won't do it, can't do it Don't mean I'll miss you any less Baby we're standing on the edge We can't walk around this river Can't swim through it 'Cause this is the bridge we said we'd cross When we got to it I'm terrified, on the other side, I'm gonna hate it But you can't ask a heart to beat in two different places And darlin' if I'm bein' honest I don't know if I would have stopped it Even though it was over when it started Now I could dig my heels in deep Just to keep you close to me But damn it that ain't love So I won't do it, can't do it Don't mean I'll miss you any less Baby we're standing on the edge Can't walk around this river Can't swim through it 'Cause this is the bridge we said we'd cross When we got to it Now here we are Kissing you one last time against your car And I'm praying like hell The damn thing just don't start I could dig my heels in deep Just to keep you close to me But damn it that ain't love So I won't do it, I can't do it Don't mean I'll miss you any less Baby we're standing on the edge We can't walk around this river Can't swim through it Crossing the bridge we said we'd cross When we got to it
