Cross And Burn Lyrics - Singles - Bigwig

Rain falls down in concentration 

I finally come to the realization 

That this place I'd once forsaken 

Will consume my generation 

Countless, endless summers 

Opposing everything we've worked for 

It was foolishness that made us wish 

We could trade it all away 

But that was years ago he shrugs 

Back when we smiled and tipped our mugs 

A time when boys were men 

Friends never stood alone 

Do you remember when I said 

I'd never walk this town again 

But you didn't believe me and now 

We cross our bridges only when we reach them 

We burn them behind us just to see the smoke 

We cross, we burn 

We cross and we burn 

Day after day this is the nothing we've learned 

Progress for their promise 

Hold my breath, now we're all hostage 

Bite your tongue there son you're just no one 

Too young to know the beat 

And I'm not asking you for much more 

Only something I could strive for 

If I keep pride outside my head then 

In my heart there will be peace 

But that was years ago he screams 

Back when we still believed our dreams 

And now we're left to doubt 

Outstanding self owed debts 

Do you remember when we said 

We'd never end up just like them 

Lost and bereaved 

We cross our bridges only when we reach them 

We burn them behind us just to see the smoke 

We cross, we burn 

We cross and we burn 

Day after day is the nothing we've learned? 

Can't we see what we owe to ourselves?
