lyrics

I was lost in the darkness
But you were my light
But I can't take it back now baby!

But now everything is dark
Without you to shine your light down on me
You're the only one that could save me, baby!

I remember when
We used to walk through the park
But now it breaks my heart to think, baby!

The sun shined through the leaves
On the tree lined boulevard
That's what tore us apart, baby!

Can't take it no more, baby!
If you'd ask me I'd do it all over again

The cartons on the dock
They look like Lego blocks
It's a sight to behold, baby!
(They seem to go on forever, baby)

The Vincent Thomas Bridge
Is high above the harbor
You're the only one that could save me, baby!

But I can't take it back now, baby!
If you'd ask me I'd do it all over again
I can't take it back now anymore
I'm drowning!

I wish that I knew
It'd be my fault we'd be over
Before the summer came...
If you'd ask me I'd do it all over again...

The water coming closer
Is green just like your eyes
Your face is the only thing
That I see in my mind
After I'm gone
The Vincent Thomas bridge will still be there...

I'm drowning!
If you'd ask me I'd do it all over again!
I can't take it back now anymore
I'm drowning!

I saw you on the Vincent Thomas Bridge…
