Lyrics
You'd never let the day define you
Shadows always seem to find you
Giving in to your worst fears
I looked around and you were lost in
Edgar Allen Poe or Austen
Crying your river of tears
CH: Babe we gotta change or baby we'll part
Maybe we gave all at the start
In undiscovered country is where we are
And maybe love lives on a bridge too far
Last night back at your apartment
You tore me down to a tattered fragment
Said that we should only be friends
Said hit the road man I hit the pavement
Made you my sole assignment
But are we just delaying the end?
CH: Maybe we can change or maybe we'll part
Maybe we gave all at the start
In undiscovered country is where we are
And maybe love lives on a bridge too far
BRIDGE:
I know that you are an illusion or a dream
Something glimpsed but never seen
And like a shadow in a dream
If I blink you might be gone
And lost as you are you've the power to believe
In redemption and reprieve
What we believe we can achieve
Cause there's love to be won and we're losing
You'd never let the day define you
Shadows always seem to find you
Couldn't find any arms to hold you
Everything I wanted was pure
So I tried to analyze you
Find a cause for the hurt inside you
Kidding myself that I was the cure
CH: Maybe we can change or maybe we'll part
Maybe we gave all at the start
In undiscovered country is where we are
And maybe love lives on a bridge too far
