Bridge to Nowhere Lyrics

Another day breaks and the last one's gone
You dig deep just to carry on
Your debt's paid off but it don't feel gone
So you slip out the back and you're moving on

I can never figure out how to make a case
That this don't amount to a fall from grace
She wants to know can I replace
This tired wool with satin lace

Says you're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past

If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast

Pressure builds till it breaks the dome
You can build a house, you can't build a home
And it's a fool who believes love is bred in the bone
And there's no guarantees that you won't get stoned

Yeah, I'm a fool who believed love is bred in the bone
And there are no guarantees that I won't get stoned

Says you're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past

If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast

I don't know where it leads, oh, no
All I know is that I don't wanna breathe
This chemical breeze, no more

So another day breaks and the last one's gone
You dig deep just to carry on
Your debt's paid off but it don't feel gone
So you slip out the back and you're moving on

She says you're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past

If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast

Yeah, you're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast
Put it in the past, put it in the past

If this is a race then I hope you come last
You're on a bridge to nowhere
And you're gettin' there fast

Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born in a Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.

The band released the album Collider on May 10, 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
