lyrics

what would have happened
if we crossed the bridge that night ?

maybe my biggest fear would have become reality
and i'd die in the city where i never felt alive
and the kids who never knew me
would post sad facebook statuses
about friendships that never happened

high school wasn't that long ago
but it sure feels that way
when i pass by old classmates in a new city
and they don't recognize me

what would have happened
if we crossed the bridge that night ?

the wrong side of the ravine
would have been a bad place to be
i'd rather be face to face with you
drinking hard lemonade
than staring down a moose standing four feet away

high school feels so long ago
but i still have the same fears
except now i try to ignore them
by drinking too many beers

what would have happened
if we crossed the bridge that night ?

i wouldn't have gotten to see the stars
decorate the sky
in the splendid way they did that night

and i'd never learn the truth
about the things you used to do
once your parents fell asleep for the night

neither of us ever felt right
but in that moment we felt alive

high school was so long ago
but i will never forget that fear
and i will always think of you
even when you're not near
