Lyrics Before the Bridge - Future Islands

Before the Bridge

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 know
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…
Whatever has us now
I can’t forget somehow
For, to forget a love, is to regret
