Build A Bridge
Sirens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Build a bridge to your mind
Takes me there every time
Lay it all on the line
If there's a way

Build a bridge, make a path
Overlook the aftermath
Make my tears be your bath
If there's a way

Only if you'll take a ride
Go with me to the other side

[Chorus:]
Even though it's gonna crumble down
I'll keep building till you come around
Even though it's gonna fall apart, break my heart
I'll keep building 'till I die

Build a bridge of memories
Stretch it out overseas
To the end of the world
If there's a way

Build a bridge made of pain
Send my longing down the drain
Have no reasons to complain
If there's a way

Only if you'll take a ride
Go with me to the other side

[Chorus]

Wait, wait for me
Wait please wait for me (x2)





[Chorus] (x2)
