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
