(capo 3rd fret)

a sad kind of guy
moving into the corner
a girl so painfully shy
a constant foreigner

is that what bridges are for
stepping stones for souls to restore
(2x)

so he hides from the light
far away from the crowd
she gets comfort from the night
her timid ways under a shroud

tell me, is that what bridges are for
stepping stones for souls to restore
tell me, tell me, tell me is that what bridges are for
stepping stones for souls to restore

from his self-imposed isolation,
he holds out his hand on a whim
for both their decency and salvation
she gently touches him

please tell me, tell me,
tell me is that what bridges are for
stepping stones for souls to restore
stepping stones for souls to restore

the gate opens to the prison they're in
they embrace and hear hearts beat
their dance just about ready to begin
it's cold outside but they're feeling the heat, feeling the heat

tell me is that what bridges are for
stepping stones for souls to restore
stepping stones for souls to restore
please tell me, tell me is that what bridges are for
please tell me, tell me is that what bridges are for
stepping stones for souls to restore
