Lyrics
You change your mind just to disagree
and pull the rug out from under me.
Burning bridges as far as you can see,
is the only way to start over.
But you came so close to walking back through that door.
Now the back-burner has been cold for so long
and the bones in the closet are growing whiter.
You've got to find a cure for being alone
beyond a cigarette and lighter.
So you sift through the embers of bridges burned.
And you call out across a chasm of your own creation.
You changed your mind just to disagree
and pull the rug out from under.
Burning bridges as far as you could see
was the only way to start over.
But now the echoes are your only reply.
And the charcoal is washed in the salt from your eyes...
