lyrics

Caught between our friendship and love
I can't imagine what we were thinking of
When we parted we were only a touch away
Caught in limbo hinting around
we kept our feet too close to the lonely ground
Maybe now we understand what we didn't say
Change into a stranger overnight
but we might still remember if the time was right

Bridges burnt before their time
when you got lost in your own mind
Nothing was done, a lot was said
I was on the edge when you went blind
Bridges burnt before their time
The hourglass is so unkind
Don't you ever turn your head
and see what we both left behind

solo

By chance i saw the answer in your eyes
Sometimes your soul will shout out what your face denies

Bridges burnt before their time
Our thing was just a pantamime
We took the safe way out instead
Our lives will be forever intertwined
Bridges burnt before their time
you turned your back and I turned mine
Leaving both of us part dead
Why were we so afraid of what we'd find

Now we live in different towns
forgot to watch our dominoes falling down
but we had a little time in the sun back then
Should our lives get tangled again
I'd try to find the lover inside the friend
but would you hide your love til the bitter end?
Change into a stranger overnight
but we might still remember if the time was right
