I Promise

Remember that time you got lost I almost fell off the edge You saved me with your lasso’s light Before it turned to darkness We climbed and climbed the mountaintops Who could believe it would ever stop Goin' on and goin' up What could have made our love that way We both know I went too far This time I believe you’re goin' You escape into the parking lot I’m tired so tired of followin' you home Can we ever go back to the life we had Can we ever go back to the life we had when it’s over So I burnt a hole inside the sun And I buried you there that’s how I do it Then I got out my gun and shot my shiny silver through it It was not for revenge or out of pain It was just to see the fires explodin' brilliant sparks like rain Like vapor you slipped through the door But babe it’s not about you anymore Don’t tell me I can never go and touch the rib within The only warmth I’ve known The only flesh and skin The heat of my heart is hummin' in my spine And I need to feel it beatin' Need to feel it unwind We can never go back to the life we had We can only go back to the life we have We can never go back to the life we had So I tell myself I’m ready now Here I am in front of you again I’ve got every reason Every reason If you open up the gate I can get in your hallway And against the brick wall we would bend Again You can never go back to the life you had You can only go back to the life you have
