Song · Heart, Sit Down
Take the Other Bridge
“Take the Other Bridge” is track 20 on Rob Matare's Pop album Heart, Sit Down, released October 6, 2026. Pop for the heart that won't behave: kiss me like the movies, shared locations, and rewriting the ending.
“Take the Other Bridge” lyrics
There's a detour by the river
Been that way since early spring
Everybody hates the long road
I don't mind the extra street
I can get back from the market
Without passing where you live
Take the other bridge
Let the old one stay closed
Take the other bridge
I ain't ready for that road
Now the council says they'll fix it
Got the trucks out there at dawn
All my friends are saying finally
I just nod and move along
Bought my bread across the river
Learned the woman's little dog
Take the other bridge
Let the old one stay closed
Take the other bridge
I ain't ready for that road
I was blaming all the traffic
For the distance that I took
Now I'm keeping my new bakery
Even when they fix the route
Take the other bridge
Let the old one stay closed
Take the other bridge
I ain't ready for that road
Take the other bridge
There's somebody there I know
