Promise

Here we are now in the backyard

On the warm ground out at sundown

But in twelve days I'll be halfway

Cross the world, I'm too tired to be afraid

You've got green eyes, I had foresight

When I said we'd be good I was so right

If we lay here, spend every day here

Well our legs might take root and we'll grow dear

I made a promise to you

I'd protect you if I had to

So the bad parts never get through

From the outside into your life

We can try but we might have some hard nights

Now we can't speak 'neath the pine trees

And I swear that there's air but I can't breathe

I need your heat, I've got cold feet

It's the thought that still makes this so easy

I made a promise to you

That we'd still feel brand new

That we'd still feel something

She's not too fond of history

Hearing loud of abrasive speech

She's unique in the way she eats oh yeah she loves me

Why she does hell I cannot say

I can't seem to stay in one place

Always gone and I'm far away from the smile on her face

Was it something that I couldn't say?

Fast enough to get away

And though I tried to make a clean escape

You left me with an even break

And I think I saw myself in you

But I think you saw a proper fool

And I know we broke every rule

With everything we didn't do

I'll remember every day

If you remember every dumb mistake

That you made cause you were late

But its my fault I made you wait

In this city I cant speak

Well you know this place is killing me

And it's harder to believe

But it's hard enough to watch you leave
