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

It don't mean I miss you any less

Baby we're standing on the edge

We can't walk around this river

And we 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 darling if I'm being honest

I don't know if I would've 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

It don't mean I miss you any less

Baby we're standing on the edge

We can't walk around this river

And we 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

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, I can't do it

It don't mean I miss you any less

Baby we're standing on the edge

We can't walk around this river

And we can't swim through it

'Cause this is the bridge we said we'd cross

When we got to it
