Bridge Burn

(Album: Jennifer And Other Short Stories - 2012)

The shore, the shore
It is a metaphor
For every moment
That has ever passed between them
The way the rays
Repeat upon her face
Is their monotony
She says, we need to bridge burn…

We need to bridge burn… [x4]

Shukran! Shukran!
He whispers to her hands
And sees his future in the beach out stretched before them
The way the waves
Wash empty words away
Is opportunity, he nods
We need to bridge burn…

We need to bridge burn… [x4]

But I could tell you
That it means so much
To look in your eyes
To look in your eyes
And I could tell you
That it's not a crutch
To look in your eyes
To look in your eyes
We need to bridge burn
Bridge burn

So now her heart's
A mirror from the start
Evacuates the empty space that grew between them
He holds her near
The sun a souvenir
A final time to reminisce before they bridge burn

We need to bridge burn
They need to bridge burn.. [x2]
We need to bridge burn
We need to bridge burn
Bridge burn
