We put it off this long because we had to
'Cause as long as I ignored it, I still had you
Yeah we both knew you had to leave
Ain't no ocean here in Tennessee
We sure did run that clock down, didn't we?
Now I could dig my heels in deep
Just to keep you close to me
But damn it that ain't love
So I won't do it, can't do it
Don't mean I'll miss you any less
Baby we're standing on the edge
We can't walk around this river
Can't swim through it
'Cause this is the bridge we said we'd cross
When we got to it
I'm terrified, on the other side, I'm gonna hate it
But you can't ask a heart to beat in two different places
And darlin' if I'm bein' honest
I don't know if I would have stopped it
Even though it was over when it started
Now I could dig my heels in deep
Just to keep you close to me
But damn it that ain't love
So I won't do it, can't do it
Don't mean I'll miss you any less
Baby we're standing on the edge
Can't walk around this river
Can't swim through it
'Cause this is the bridge we said we'd cross
When we got to it
Now here we are
Kissing you one last time against your car
And I'm praying like hell
The damn thing just don't start
I could dig my heels in deep
Just to keep you close to me
But damn it that ain't love
So I won't do it, I can't do it
Don't mean I'll miss you any less
Baby we're standing on the edge
We can't walk around this river
Can't swim through it
Crossing the bridge we said we'd cross
When we got to it
