Different Bridges, Same River – Kris Allen

Everybody wants a place to place the blame
‘Cause who would wanna stand, and fall on their own sword
Everybody wants to play it face to face
Without a winning hand, that no one wants to fold

The water’s deep on both sides
We need each other if we wanna get by
The water’s deep on both sides
But we don’t seem to mind
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river

I know you have got a reason for the flame
It’s burning in your mind, and keeping us apart
What if I told you mine’s the same
Just a different kinda vibe
A different kinda spark

The water’s deep on both sides
We need each other if we wanna get by
The water’s deep on both sides
But we’ve made up our minds
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
I don’t know

We keep waiting for the day somebody says their mind has changed
‘Cause we would rather face the waves alone than see another way
Don’t you call it warfare, cause we are getting nowhere
At least on that we can agree

Building different bridges to cross the same river
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
Oh why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river
I don’t know
