Bridges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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:
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
The lyrics to Bridges's song "Echo" are full of emotion and interpretation. The song expresses the feeling of being left with unfulfilled love and longing to prove oneself to someone who has moved on. The singer of the song is struggling with failed love and is greeted with unpleasant memories or "Echoes" of the past relationship.
The first verse, "Fate dropped me front and center, close behind, was your heart a stolen find?" introduces the idea of a chance meeting between the two, and a lingering question of whether or not love was genuine on the other side. The singer is hopeful that their love was sincere, but the "echo" reminds them that it probably was not. The singer is left in this limbo of remembering their love and questioning its authenticity.
The second verse, "You're keeping things that matter most to me, love is gone, where is she?" continues the theme of uncertainty and focuses on the loss of love. The singer is still pining for this lost love, still listening to the echoes, and wants to prove themselves to the other person. The chorus, "You've got a lot to say, and you've got a lot to prove, I'm not the one to watch your heart be moved, you've got a lot to prove" emphasizes this desire to prove oneself.
Overall, "Echo" is a poignant song about love lost and the struggle to move on while still longing to prove oneself. The achingly beautiful lyrics draw in the listener and evoke their own personal experiences of loss and wanting.
