Lyrics
The Silvertown footbridge is shivering again,
or maybe that's just the November in my hands.
Calculating the load on the galvanized steel,
bracing for a past that still feels too real.
I can see the fault lines from the Pontoon Dock DLR,
and I haven't even gotten out of the car.
[Chorus]
I won't let the memory shear this frame.
Won't let the echo cantilever your name.
[Verse 2]
October 2003, you traced the rivets with your thumb,
said, "This thing will outlast both of us, hon."

The material fatigues but the shape remains.
[Chorus - Key Change]
I won't let the memory shear this frame.
Won't let the echo cantilever your name.
[Outro]
The first step is tension.
I'm crossing now.
