Music Structure: Does this song have a "bridge"?

I am currently learning online about song structure and how music is structured.
....Music is actually way more mathematical that I had thought!

Can you give this rock song a listen, and tell me does this song have a "bridge"?

If so, what makes a bridge, a "bridge"?[media=https://youtu.be/IiuPFwt1Nm8]

I'd say yes. Specifically through these lyrics:

"Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance, I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting"

Thanks, but how do you know that's a bridge? What makes a bridge a bridge?

@XenonRush I don't know enough about music theory to say it in any sort of technical way (even though I've been playing guitar for 20 years, shame on me XD ) but it's a brief change in musicality and lyric structure from the rest of the song. 🤔

What was your first guitar? Also, what do you mean change in musicality?

@XenonRush Just a different chord structure than the rest of the song is written in. :) And my first was a Fender Dreadnought that I still have and play. :3

Have you ever played/owned a Stratocaster? Musically, in a song...what is the point of a bridge?
