Bridge to Canada

I think song is about a girl running away from her past

My Halfass Blow by Blow Commentary/Interpratation

How love can conquer The most reluctant souls I'll take my chances If you give back what you stole

(She's not used to the whole relationship thing, but she'll give it a try because she's already fallen)

Let me give you a spade To dig your merry hole I dig your smile too and you dug my poker face (They are entering the relationship but she already knows that it's going to be a disaster, his "merry hole," a much nicer phrase for his grave.)

I couldn't get in so Threw stones at your window Love like an arrow The arrow has left its bow (Eyes are the window to the soul and all that...he won't let her in emotionally, so all they do is fight.)

Travelling overseas I'm missing my sweet pea Airports and Handkerchiefs and broken families (Even so, when she's away from him, she misses him)

On the Bridge To Canada I wish you'd fall but not drown On the Bridge To Canada Yes I would wear you like a crown (She's frustrated with him, "falling" but not "Drowning" suggests that although he aggravates her, she still loves him)

I threw the dice on you Went very far away Some people they don't hurt Just in it for the chase 0-7-9-5-6-0, 1-2-3-4 deleted numbers, but remembered to the core (she took a chance on him...left...he doesn't seem as emotionally invested in the relationship...perhaps cheating while she's away...blah)

Maybe disappointments Must be our appointment Naive and hyper Now I can't decipher (Maybe the relationship is just doomed to fail...at first she was just so in love and excited but now he just confuses and frustrates her)

Before you close the curtains Be sure that you're certain When losing your patience For flirtation and free loving (warning him that if he really wants to close the curtain on the relationship, he should make sure that he prefers the life of a bachelor to being with ~her~)

"You lost your PASSPORT!! You lost your HEAD!!! You lost your PASSPORT!! Have you lost your HEAD???!!" You're waking up in a foreign bed (wtf, is he crazy for not picking her? is that motherfucker crazy?)

On the Bridge To Canada I wish you'd fall but not drown On the Bridge To Canada Yes I would wear you like a crown

On the Bridge To Canada I wish that you could see me now On the Bridge To Canada I'll play the fool but not your Clown

On the Bridge To Canada "I hear the band have just left town" On the Bridge To Canada How I miss you now

On the Bridge To Canada You can wear me like a frown On the Bridge To Canada (oh how I will) Play the fool in this lucky town

On the Bridge To Canada I hope that you are happy now On the Bridge To Canada I'll play the fool but not your clown

(they broke up she's sad and misses him but knows that he was just playing her for a fool)

I really like the last phrase, its a good analogy as a fool is someone who accidentally/unknowingly makes an idiot of themselves whereas a clown intentionally and repeatedly does so for payment.

If you die in Canada... you die in real life!!!

love this song.

to alexandraqwerty: Let me guess.. you have GOT to be American, right? Your comment just screams Typical American - thinking your country is the absolute end all, every other place is inferior, and that Canada is just riding on your coat-tails. You are a STEREOTYPE. Congrats. sarcastic clapping
