The Bridge

We put it off this long because we had to
 'Cause as long as I ignored it, I still had you
 Yeah we both knew you had to leave
 Ain't no ocean here in Tennessee
 We sure did run that clock down, didn't we?
 Now I could dig my heels in deep
 Just to keep you close to me
 But damn it that ain't love
 So I won't do it, can't do it
 Don't mean I'll miss you any less
 Baby we're standing on the edge
 We can't walk around this river
 Can't swim through it
 'Cause this is the bridge we said we'd cross
 When we got to it
 I'm terrified, on the other side, I'm gonna hate it
 But you can't ask a heart to beat in two different places
 And darlin' if I'm bein' honest
 I don't know if I would have stopped it
 Even though it was over when it started
 Now I could dig my heels in deep
 Just to keep you close to me
 But damn it that ain't love
 So I won't do it, can't do it
 Don't mean I'll miss you any less
 Baby we're standing on the edge
 Can't walk around this river
 Can't swim through it
 'Cause this is the bridge we said we'd cross
 When we got to it
 Now here we are
 Kissing you one last time against your car
 And I'm praying like hell
 The damn thing just don't start
 I could dig my heels in deep
 Just to keep you close to me
 But damn it that ain't love
 So I won't do it, I can't do it
 Don't mean I'll miss you any less
 Baby we're standing on the edge
 We can't walk around this river
 Can't swim through it
 Crossing the bridge we said we'd cross
 When we got to it
