I could talk forever about never getting better but something's gotta give.
Mistakes out on the table, i just hope you can forgive.
My need for some attention sent me running from the truth,
The meantime had me certain that i'd tie up my own, tie up my own noose.

Baby i would take the bridge for you, across or off the edge,
Cause i never learnt the meaning of when to say when.
Baby i would take the bridge for you, across or off the edge,
Cause i never learnt the meaning of when to say when.

I fear we'll both be swallowed by what we still don't know,
Time is a selfish mistress, all i want's to take it slow.
But explore the skin i stretch, before we are too late,
The days they seem so hasty, to seal our star-crossed, to seal our star-crossed fate.

Seal our star-crossed fate.

Lord knows where i'd still be without you,
Honey i could barely breathe without you.
A river of excess,
Enbanked with my own innocence.

Baby i would take the bridge for you, across or off the edge,
Cause i never learnt the meaning of when to say when.
Baby i would take the bridge for you, across or off the edge,
Cause i never learnt the meaning of when to say when.

I fear these man-made shackles will only break with time.
Our patience was a virtue, but it's still not on our side.
I wake up to your suitcase every morning and most nights,
These days they seem so hasty, so i pray you'll miss that, pray you'll miss that flight.

Baby i would take the bridge for you, across or off the edge,
Cause i never learnt the meaning of when to say when.
