Water and Bridges
As I was thinking of the next chapter, I was thinking that Alexander Colbourne is a "solemn man" and then I remembered where I was getting my inspiration. I think the conversations to come between him and Charlotte will be difficult because there is so much emotional weight to them. And, of course, because they live in a time when perception of honor and purity are so important.
I tried to link the YouTube video, but here are the lyrics instead:
Water and Bridges
Dashboard Confessional
There's things I know I should have mentioned sooner
But I didn't know how
I'm sorry I lost you
I never thought that this could come between us
I know it's water and bridges now
But what's the sense in carrying around
This weight? These words are tearing me apart
And that's enough for the back to break
That's an awful lot to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
That face, I know exactly what you're thinking
But I'm certain this time is different
And that's why I can't pretend that everything is mended
I know I've tried to for too long now
But what's the sense in carrying around
This weight? These words are tearing us apart
And that's enough for the back to break
That's an awful lot to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
Oh save me from a gray life
Oh save me from a gray life
I paid the price with my soul
Oh save me
And that's enough for the back to break
That's an awful lot to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
