Promises

Sorry to disturb you

I am only visiting

I'm only passing through you see

I really hope I didn't wake you up

You've had so many names pass

Too many you could lose track

So close your eyes, go back to sleep

When you wake up you won't remember me

Far off places we'll get there some day

We'll never look like movie stars, anyways

Cause promises were made to break

You say that you can make me

A dream for all the next in line

Behind the sun I'm only shadows

They lost their breath and sign their lives away

We'll burn like gas for a week or two

Then take our place in hall of fame

If passers-by who walk on through

Cause promises were made to break

So pardon me for everything

Sometimes I'm not all here you see

Sometimes my mind drifts off to sleep

I dream in shifts and wake up at thirty

Far off places we'll get there someday

We'll never look like movie stars, anyway

Cause promises are made to break

And it's that hard, yes

And it's that hard

So there goes my heart
