Before the Bridge lyrics

And I will walk you home

and I will leave you there

I'll take the books you stole

and leave the heart that bared this soul

I hope you have what you need

I hope the moon is listening

I hope you have what you need

I gave my soul, my body

I hope you have what you need

I hope the moon is listening

I hope you have what you need

I gave you soul and body

And if things hadn't changed

I would have buried you deep in my arms

and if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the stars

Whatever has us now

I can't forget, somehow

for, to forget a love, is to regret

and, what is love, is regret

and, what isn't love, is a test

And if things hadn't changed

I would have buried you deep in my arms

and if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the stars

Do you believe in love

do you believe in love

hold your tongue

hold your tongue

do you believe in love

do you believe in love

hold your tongue

hold your tongue

do you believe in love

do you believe in love

hold your tongue

hold your tongue

do you believe in love

do you believe in love

'Cause if things hadn't changed

I would have buried you deep in my arms

and if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the stars

far, far away

Whatever has us now

I can't forget, somehow

For, to forget a love, is to regret
