Paused upon the bridge,
to watch the river flow.
The same old back way home,
but I can't tell where to go.
Listening to the memories crash,
on rocks weathered by change,
and the sounds fill up my ears tonight.
Too many homes to lean.
I gotta stand up on my own.
Like a flower in the sky,
wondering how it's supposed to grow.
Or a life that flows without a sense,
of a reservoir or place.
But the rhythm soothes my ears tonight,
tonight,
tonight,
tonight.
I know life can have its broken dreams,
but I can't help breaking more.
Oh, the sounds fill up my ears tonight.
Walked across the bridge,
and took the back way home.
Remembering how sometimes,
I know which way to go.
I know life can have its broken dreams,
mmm, but I can't help breaking more.
Underneath my skin,
I pray for strength to begin.
And the rhythm soothes my ears,
tonight,
tonight,
tonight,
tonight,
tonight,
tonight.
