burning bridges Lyrics

Through the jungle there's a railroad track

But I don't need anything to find my way back

'Cause I can make it if I follow you

You're blazing a trail to your next rendezvous

Honey, your juice box is bubbling with foam

Guess Jesus from Kmart got sick of selling dope

And I'm out here on the edge of someday

While Karen from high school lights up Broadway

Hey-hey

Am I doing enough?

Should I be falling in love?

And working too much?

Hey-hey

I'm burning my bridges

Never learned long division

So what am I missing?

I'm too damn old to be just twenty-one

Repeating the mantra 'I'm still having fun'

And though I'm proud of what you've got up to

I'm a selfish bastard and I don't wanna lose to you, no!

Hey-hey

Everyone's doing enough

Everyone's falling in love

And drinking too much

Hey-hey-ay

While I'm burning my bridges

Never did my revision

Tell me, what am I missing?

Come find me in middle grade novels

And the 2nd verses of songs I used to hate

And yes, you have my full attention

As I enter a distant dimension

Where we sail the seven seas

To a rock and roll symphony

Where the future is bright and so are we

Hey-hey-ay

We're all doing enough

We're all falling in love

Working and drinking too much

Hey-hey-ay

We're burning our bridges

Never asked for permission

To find what we're missing

Hey-hey-ay

I'll build my own bridges

Hey-hey-ay

And I'll find what I'm missing
