echo
Bridges Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fate dropped me front and center, close behind
Was your heart a stolen find?
I'm such a hopeful
I heard the echo let go of your name
Cross her mind, stay within range
When I am listening

Chorus:
You've got a lot to say
I'm not the one to make you feel this way
But you've got a lot to say
And you've got a lot to prove
I'm not the one to watch you
I'm not the one to watch your heart be moved
You've got a lot to prove

You're keeping things that matter most to me
Love is gone, where is she?
I'm such a hopeful
I heard the echo let go of her name, cross your heart and state it's claim
I've been listening

(Chorus)

Love me in your sleep
(We're fighting through changes)
Dream me so to speak
(We're turning to strangers)
Care enough to wake

Leave secrets out of this
Your love is a hit or miss
You're tuning out my call
Time is the biggest risk of all
Time is the biggest risk of all





I heard the echo let go and I feel alright, at least I think so
