This is a different part of the song. "Bridge" has two meanings; this thread is referring to the pre-chorus part not the part that comes after the chorus has been sung twice.

Right. Thanks Long John. Let me break it down like this, using Set Fire to the Rain as an example.
This is the first verse:
Quote:

I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
|
This is the pre-chorus/bridge, connecting the verse to the chorus:

But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
And after the second verse, repeated bridge/pre-chorus and second chorus, this is the bridge/middle eight that offers a contrasting section that leads to a key change:

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.
