Bigwig - Cross and Burn Lyrics
I finally come to the realizationThat this place I'd once forsakenWill consume my generationCountless, endless summersOpposing everything we've worked forIt was foolishness that made us wishWe could trade it all awayBut that was years ago he shrugsBack when we smiled and tipped our mugsA time when boys were menFriends never stood aloneDo you remember when I saidI'd never walk this town againBut you didn't believe me and nowWe cross our bridges only when we reach themWe burn them behind us just to see the smokeWe cross, we burnWe cross and we burnDay after day this is the nothing we've learnedProgress for their promiseHold my breath, now we're all hostageBite your tongue there son you're just no oneToo young to know the beatAnd I'm not asking you for much moreOnly something I could strive forIf I keep pride outside my head thenIn my heart there will be peaceBut that was years ago he screamsBack when we still believed our dreamsAnd now we're left to doubtOutstanding self owed debtsDo you remember when we saidWe'd never end up just like themLost and bereavedWe cross our bridges only when we reach themWe burn them behind us just to see the smokeWe cross, we burnWe cross and we burnDay after day is the nothing we've learned?Can't we see what we owe to ourselves?
