Didn't think the earth would stop and settle down
Never thought the words I spoke would haunt me now
I know they say the air gets thin when you cool it down
But it does, yeah it does

Burning bridges one more time
Burning bridges all my life
If I have to swim, if I have to fly
If I have to tear the seams from the sword and start a new life
I'll take a breath, I'll take my time
And I'll get there, yeah I'll get there

Couldn't keep a lonely ship from sailing
Couldn't keep a wounded heart from failing
And I couldn't keep an open door from caving in
Ice cold

Burning bridges one more time
Burning bridges all my life
If I have to swim if I have to fly
If I have to tear the seams from the sword and start a new life
I'll take a breath, I'll take my time
And I'll get there, yeah I'll get there

I crossed the line, yeah I set it on fire
Now i'm left with a half moon at midnight
Thought I was close, thought I made up my mine
But the ashes they say something different

Burning bridges one last time
If I have to swim. If I have to fly
You know I would tear the seams from the sword and start a new life
Yeah I'll take a breath, and I'll take my time
And I'll get there, yeah I'll get there
