I Promise

I been watching the birds as they go

I been keepin my bank account low

I been keepin my end of the deal

with Saint Anthony and Saint Thomas

My little sister gave it a hell of a try

You know I hear it gets worse when you die

I can't believe you got me waiting for another year

But if you ever make it back I'll be here

And I'll be ready, I promise

I promise

I hear your voice say things to me

But I get up for nothing 'cause I'm afraid to see

Every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in

But I'll still be here if you want me back again

I promise

I promise

You can always come home

I promise

You can always come home

I try to count the chimes

Water the flowers above the sink sometimes

I listen to your records

Do you still have mine?

Every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in

So I promise not to try to make it breathe again
