Promises Songtext
von The Fundamentals

I will do my part, but only if you take the rest
There′s tension in our movements, not to mention every breath
The staircase in the closet used to lead us to the roof
Now we're stuck in bedrooms getting closer to the truth
There′s alcohol and longing on our lips and in our guts
And if a spark should hit, there will be nothing left of us
Don't make me promises that you can't keep
Thunder how it echoes down these lonely northern streets
Day makes way for evening and the night brings sweet release
Don′t push any harder, no surrender, no regrets


The morning can′t come fast enough, I'm laying down my bets
Words spill out like whiskey from the bottle to our mouths
Tonight I am the only creature hiding in this house
There′s alcohol and longing on our lips and in our guts
And if a spark should hit, there will be nothing left of us
Don't make me promises that you can′t keep
Go your own way tonight
Go your own way tonight
Go your own way tonight
Let's keep this brief
