Official music video for On The Bridge by Red Rum. The song features cosplays between myself playing The Juggler (Jack) from Streets of Rage 1 and my wife Amber playing Nora from Streets of Rage 1 and 4.
The song is about being on the edge of confession and on the bridge to make a decision, hence why Keep The Groovin from the Streets of Rage OST is used. The lyrics are reminiscent of when I first met my wife and the situation that was occuring at the time. The original song is by Yuzo Koshiro.
:: Lyrics ::
[Intro]
Yeah...
Some feelings stay trapped...
And every time I see you...
Im frozen on the bridge...
Between fear and love...
[Pre-Verse]
On the bridge, even when I try to escape
Love got me trapped in invisible chains
I’m one confession from changing our fate
But I freeze every time when youre in my way
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word I hide cuts deeper inside
I’m smiling while my soul slowly dies
One step away from changing our lives
But I freeze when I see you every single time
[Chorus]
On the bridge, I’m screaming your name in silence
Heart full of love but my fear keeps hidin’
Close enough to touch but worlds apart inside
I’d give you my soul if I knew you were mine
Every night I stand where the truth could begin
But the river below pulls me back in again
I love you more than these words can explain
Still I walk away with your name in my veins
[Verse 1]
Late night city glows reflectin’ in the rain
Your names in my head like a permanent stain
Every little smile got me losin’ my frame
But the words never leave, they just circle my brain
I rehearsed every sentence a thousand times alone
Then I see your face and my courage is gone
Heart beats heavy like a sad love song
Standin’ right beside you while I still feel far
You ask me if I’m good, I just nod and grin
But inside there’s a war I can never win
I wanna tell you everything I hold within
How your laugh feels brighter than the sun breakin’ in
How your eyes got peace in a world gone cold
How your soul got warmth when my hands won’t hold
How every broken piece of me slowly unfolds
Every second with you turns silver to gold
But fear got chains wrapped tight on my chest
What if I confess and you leave like the rest?
What if love destroys the little hope I kept?
So I drown in silence and bury what’s left
You’ll never know the nights I spent awake
Or every prayer to God that your heart might change
I’m standing on the bridge but I can’t cross lanes
Too scared to lose you, too hurt to stay the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word I hide cuts deeper inside
I’m smiling while my soul slowly dies
One step away from changing our lives
But I freeze when I see you every single time
[Chorus]
On the bridge, I’m screaming your name in silence
Heart full of love but my fear keeps hidin’
Close enough to touch but worlds apart inside
I’d give you my soul if I knew you were mine
Every night I stand where the truth could begin
But the river below pulls me back in again
I love you more than these words can explain
Still I walk away with your name in my veins
Every night I stand where the truth could begin
But the river below pulls me back in again
I love you more than these words can explain
Still I walk away with your name in my veins
[Verse 2]
Maybe one day courage finally arrives
And I stop letting fear decide my life
Maybe one day I’ll look into your eyes
And tell you every truth I buried inside
I’d tell you how the world goes quiet near you
How every crowd disappears when I hear you
How even heaven probably envies your spirit
And every second apart just feels severe
But tonight I’m still standing on this edge
With a million unsent confessions in my head
Watching city lights shimmer off the bridge
While regret and love keep sharing the same bed
Maybe you’ll never know this side of me
Maybe these feelings will die silently
Maybe some love stories are incomplete
But still become the deepest memories
Tell you you’re the reason that songs exist
The reason lonely hearts still make a wish
The reason broken people still persist
The reason every scar don’t feel like this
So if you ever feel somebody close
Like a ghost beside your soul in the cold
You were the light when my world was scarred
And I always loved you from the very start
[Pre-Chorus]
Every word I hide cuts deeper inside
I’m smiling while my soul slowly dies
One step away from changing our lives
But I freeze when I see you every single time
[Chorus]
On the bridge, I’m screaming your name in silence
Heart full of love but my fear keeps hidin’
Close enough to touch but worlds apart inside
I’d give you my soul if I knew you were mine
Every night I stand where the truth could begin
But the river below pulls me back in again
I love you more than these words can explain
Still I walk away with your name in my veins
[Outro]
Yeah…
Maybe someday I’ll say it...
Maybe someday I’ll cross that bridge...
But until then...
I’ll keep loving you in silence...
On the bridge...
