Promises

[Verse 1]

Two hearts that shouldn't

Talk to each other become close

In a town much like a prison cell

People speak our names

On the street in hushed tones

Oh, the stories they'd tell

If anyone would listen

If anyone would listen...

[Verse 2]

You come from a town where

People don't bother saying "Hello"

Unless somebody's born or dies

And I come from a place where they

Drag your hopes through the mud

Because their own dreams are all dying

[Pre-Chorus]

And when we walk down the street

The wind sings our name in rebel songs

The sounds of the night should make us anxious

But it's much too late when the fear is gone

[Chorus]

I will meet you in the next life (I promise you)

Where we can be together (I promise you)

I will wait 'til then in Heaven (I promise you)

I promise, I promise

[Verse 3]

There's so many fighting

To get past the Pearly Gates

But nobody ever wants to die or get saved

Their intentions aren't that good

And I can smell the asphalt

That's their personal road to Hell being paved

[Pre-Chorus]

And when we walk down the street

The wind sings our name in rebel songs

And it's much too late when the fear is gone

[Chorus]

I will meet you in the next life (I promise you)

Where we can be together (I promise you)

I will wait 'til then in Heaven (I promise you)

I promise, I promise

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I will meet you in the next life (I promise you)

Where we can be together (I promise you)

I will wait 'til then in Heaven (I promise you)

I promise, I promise
