Bigwig - Cross And Burn lyrics

rate me

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?
