One Bridge I Didn't Burn
Seeking Redemption: The Long Road Back from Love's Edge
Lyrics
I know how long it's been
I am aware of the duration that has passed
So, if I can't come in
If I'm not allowed to enter
Then let me just talk to you through the door
Allow me to communicate with you from outside the door
I'm a man without a place
I feel like a man without a home or purpose
Lost, and lookin' for a trace
Adrift and searching for any sign
Of the warm and tender love we had before
Yearning for the affectionate and caring love we shared previously
I closed every door behind me
I deliberately shut off all opportunities behind me
Shook my shoes and walked away
I left my past by taking decisive actions
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
I turned my back on you and my previous life
It's a long, hard road
The journey back is challenging and arduous
That leads back from the point of no return
Returning from a point where there's no going back
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn
I'm seeking a chance to reconcile by finding one untouched connection
This river looks so wide
The obstacle seems insurmountable like a wide river
Standing on the lonely side
Being on the desolate side of life
And, wishing I could be back home again
Longing to return to the comfort of home
I'd do anything at all
I am willing to do anything
Just to find a way across
Just to find a way to reconnect
And, to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been
Hoping for your forgiveness despite my foolish actions
I closed every door behind me
Similar to line 9, emphasizing closing off possibilities
Shook my shoes and walked away
I left decisively by shaking off my past
Turned my back on you and everything I had yesterday
Reiterating the act of turning away from past commitments
It's a long, hard road
Highlighting the difficulty of the journey back
That leads back from the point of no return
Repeating the theme of returning from a point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn [unverified]
Continuing the search for an untouched connection
