i promise

i been watching the birds as they go

i been keeping my bank account low

i been keeping 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

but 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

i promise
