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
 I made a promise to
 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
 I made a promise to
 I made a promise to you
 That we'd still feel brand new
 That we'd still feel brand new
 That we'd still feel something
 She's not too fond of history
 Hearing loud or 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
 (she said)
 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
