Bigwig - Cross And Burn lyrics

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?
