This Side Of The Brokenhead Lyrics

Who knew a place could hold a heartbreak

Who knew a place could bring me down

Who knew a place could be a hitman

One job to put me in the ground

I can't walk across the bridge anymore

And I wouldn't dare swim up onto the banks

My car won't keep me safe on the road

So I won't go, yeah I won't go

I'm staying on this side of the Brokenhead

Cause every time I cross the river

There's a part of me that never makes it back

I'm staying on this side of the Brokenhead

Cause every time I cross the river

I'm afraid that I might never make it back

The letters spell your name on every sign

I feel your breath in the wind

I hear your voice when I hit Zielke Dr

And my whole world starts closing in

I can't walk across the bridge anymore

And I wouldn't dare swim up onto the banks

My car won't keep me safe on the road

So I won't go, yeah I won't go

I'm staying on this side of the Brokenhead

Cause every time I cross the river

There's a part of me that never makes it back

I'm staying on this side of the Brokenhead

Cause every time I cross the river

I'm afraid that I might never make it back

Tonight I stand here with my toes on the line

Hoping I might sneak in one last time

But I see the army on the riverside

I hear them calling for my head on the spike

So baby this is goodbye

I'm staying on this side of the Brokenhead

Cause every time I cross the river

There's a part of me that never makes it back

I'm staying on this side of the Brokenhead

Cause every time I cross the river

I'm afraid that I might never make it back
