Lyrics
It is what it is once you cross that bridge
Accept the reality of a situation after passing a critical point
Generic I miss you's don't care cuz it ain't you
Expressions of missing someone are insincere if not genuine
I put clouds in the sky just to help me forget
Creating distractions (clouds) to aid in forgetting painful memories
All the pain in my life I had to forgive
Forgiving and letting go of the pain from past experiences
It is what it is once you cross that bridge
Reiteration of the acceptance of reality after crossing a bridge
Don't cross that bridge don't cross that no no
Warning against crossing a metaphorical bridge, perhaps cautioning against certain actions
It is what it is once you cross that bridge
Repeat of the acceptance of reality after crossing a bridge
Don't cross that bridge don't cross that no no
Reiteration of the warning against crossing a metaphorical bridge
Gotta travel down this road just to make it in life
The journey down a challenging path is necessary for success
All the ups and downs just take it in stride
Accepting both the highs and lows of life with resilience
You get what you give don't blame karma for lies
Consequences are a result of one's actions, not just fate
For all of my life I've had God on my side
Throughout life, there's a belief in a higher power
I think of all the faces and the places I've been
Reflecting on past experiences and places
In the cage to repent for days that I sinned
Seeking redemption for past mistakes or sins
I thank God every day that I open my eyes
Gratitude for life and the opportunities it presents
On this side on this side
Contentment with the current situation
I put tattoos on my skin in case I can't remember
Permanent reminders (tattoos) of meaningful things
The things I love no pain no gain
Embracing challenges for personal growth
I never thought I'd be so at peace with myself
Surprising peace with oneself despite expectations
On the beach with a towel
Enjoying a peaceful moment by the beach
No clouds in the sky
Symbolic representation of a serene and clear state of mind
It is what it is once you cross that bridge
Reiteration of the acceptance of reality after crossing a bridge
Generic I miss you's don't care cuz it ain't you
Expressions of missing someone lack significance if not genuine
I put clouds in the sky just to help me forget
Using distractions to cope with and forget past pain
All the pain in my life I had to forgive
Forgiving and letting go of the pain from past experiences (repeated theme)
It is what it is once you cross that bridge
Reiteration of the acceptance of reality after crossing a bridge
Don't cross that bridge don't cross that no no
Caution against crossing a metaphorical bridge (repeated warning)
It is what it is once you cross that bridge
Repeat of the acceptance of reality after crossing a bridge
Don't cross that bridge don't cross that no no
Reiteration of the warning against crossing a metaphorical bridge
