VVolves - The Bridge Lyrics

A river is in front of me, and I can see
That you're on the other side

I thought that we could build a bridge to come together
Or at least say that we tried

And you can find the wood, and I will bring the metal
As the water levels rise

And deep into the night we put our hands to work
As we build our bridge of lies

Oh
You're slipping through my hands
And I don't even understand
Reasons are a mystery
But I can see it's true
Cause the very thought of you
Is slipping through my hands
And I don't even understand

The river is all I can see, but I can feel you
Pull me through her tides

There's nothing we can do but sink or swim
Or just give in and cast aside

And all of the wood, and all of the metal
Broken pieces float on by

And as I look across the great divide
You are the earth and I'm the sky

Oh
You're slipping through my hands
And I don't even understand
Reasons are a mystery
But I can see it's true
Cause the very thought of you
Is slipping through my hands
And I don't even understand

A river is in front of me
The river is all I can see
