Lyrics for 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
