I’m no longer for you I’m not against you see I don’t turn for you You don’t belong to me But our friends are waiting on the bridge tonight Too late to fight And deep down I believe that I am a good man I don’t always know what’s right but I’ll do what I can Oh here I am, the boy who can’t get out of bed So I lie instead
It’s buried just below the surface So close enough for skin to wedge Creeping now along the hallway I know now a way on to the bridge
And you already know the words but I don’t have the heart In there it lies the wrath It's where the trouble starts I've lost ground and I’m not so sure why I’m doing this for Anyone anymore
It’s buried just below the surface I’m glancing now behind my eye Where I can see those bridges burning But we won’t save the world this time
Here we are now Here we are short of breath again Take this down now Take this down so I will not forget you, said you Take me down to the water You know it, it’s where we’ll return to Drag me around to the moment You said it, I bet it took longer than words could tell And every bell was silent in our quiet towns And furthermore You carry your secrets like a pocketknife That might just bring a man down
But right now we got to get ourselves to town So baby please don’t cry, we’re letting our friends down Cos our friends should not be alone on the bridge all right Wrong side of midnight
