With all these rivers left to cross And all these bridges that I've burned I have no way across The hardest lesson learned So I'll sit here and wait For those fires to fade It's lonely on this shore And I can't wait anymore For you to come around Gonna find your bridge and burn it down And through the tears I'll pray Your fire burns away And I'll just sit and wait For this love to fade Some I've burned for light On these long, dark, empty nights And some I've burned in fear But most to dry these tears So I just sit and wait For those fires to fade Regret builds like a storm Cause I'm burning all my bridges to stay warm I'm burning all my bridges to stay warm

Burning Bridges (To Stay Warm)
With all these rivers left to cross And all these bridges that I've burned I have no way across The hardest lesson learned So I'll sit here and wait For those fires to fade It's lonely on this shore And I can't wait anymore For you to come around Gonna find your bridge and burn it down And through the tears I'll pray Your fire burns away And I'll just sit and wait For this love to fade Some I've burned for light On these long, dark, empty nights And some I've burned in fear But most to dry these tears So I just sit and wait For those fires to fade Regret builds like a storm Cause I'm burning all my bridges to stay warm I'm burning all my bridges to stay warm
