The Bridge Songtext
von Taylor Leonhardt

Imagine a castle
And just beyond the walls
A river surrounds it
There′s only one way across

Inside is a treasure
Sittin' right at my feet
But for too long I left the door open
I let in the thief

Some people take what you got
Til you got nothing to give
And I could play the victim
But let′s call a spade what it is
It's nobody's fault but my own
It′s my hand on the switch
So I′m drawing the bridge

When I lived at the mercy
Of everyone else
I'd die a little inside
Every time I abandoned myself


Some people take what you got
Til you got nothing to give
I could play the victim
But let′s call a spade what it is
It's nobody′s fault but my own
It's my hand on the switch
And I′m drawing the bridge

If it's peace of mind
Power to draw a line
And knowing which fence I can mend
Then it's not about who I′m keeping out
It′s what I'm keeping in

This side of the water
I wanna hold my friends close
And I′m learning to like who I am
Even when I'm alone


Some people take what you got
Til you got nothing to give
I could play the victim
But let′s call a spade what it is
It's nobody′s fault but my own
It's my hand on the switch
And I know how to let it go
I know how to say when
I'm drawing the bridge
I′m drawing the bridge
I′m drawing the bridge
I'm drawing the bridge
