Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a drive, I'm taking backroads
High against where the rivers' flowing
I didn't think that our love had grown
You had me dead to rights
Hey, I'm trying to get some rest
To keep on moving
[Verse 2]
How you been? You're looking bad
You tried to change a burning bulb
Until you realized what you were up against
I spent all those nights just tryna take you in
But you released me, baby, again
[Chorus]
Cross the bridge
To redefine your pain
Then the answer's in your heart
Wide awake
To rearrange the way I listen in the dark
Dreaming of starting up again
[Verse 3]
So if you look, you'll find yourself
You're not some demon in the dark
That you and I, yeah, we'd been through that
Oh, can you rectify it all the time it took you
Away from choosing?
[Verse 4]
So as you find yourself flying high up there
When you release me from your heart again
I'm just a burning man trying to keep the ship
From turning over, again
[Chorus]
Cross the ridge
Derivative of pain
Crush the burning in your heart
Wide awake
To rearrange the way I listen in the dark
Dreaming, starting
Like a stranded kid in a doorway
I'm burning
