Different Bridges, Same River lyrics - 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

(Different bridges, same river)

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river

(Different bridges, same river)

I know you have got a reason for the flame

That's burning in your mind

And keeping us apart

What if I told you mine's the same

Just a different kind of fire

A different kind of 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

(Different bridges, same river)

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river

(Different bridges, 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

(Different bridges, same river)

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river

(Different bridges, same river)

Oh why are we building different bridges to cross the same river

(Different bridges, same river)

Why are we building different bridges to cross the same river

(Different bridges, same river)

I don't know
