I Promise

I been watching the birds as they go
I been keepin my bank account low
I been keepin 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
Because i’m afraid to see
Everyday 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
