Streets are filled with broken glassYou get buried by the past
Give me just a little taste
Lay this mess to waste
Take me home
My mind is racing take me home
My body's achin' so alone
I'll make you want to stay with me
Befriended by the enemy
One more time
And every little thing about this tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken just promises broken now
Looking outside from my window sill
Throw another coin in the wishing well
You'll never find what you're looking for
Fifteen miles
Your dim light shines from so far away
Your sad smile
Is all I see when I say
That every little thing about this tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken just promises broken now
From the hotel satellite
Don't look like you're living right
Here's a deal you can't refuse
You ain't got as much to lose
Can you tell your troubles to
Someone who won't laugh at you
Its all right
And as I watch you walk away
Hope a part of you would stay
Its all right
And every little thing about this tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken just promises broken now
Ah here's a number for my lumbering championship-winning heart. I always make promises I cannot keep. It's not something I am proud of, but I do have a habit of doing it.
Like that time when I promised some chick that I would go out on a date with her. Eh, I did go out with her. Or that time when I promised the Fundarians that I would save their planet from the Nofundarians. Eh, Wait, I also did it in the end. Or how about that time when I promised Megan that I would stay at home and ba da boom her all day. Oh, I did it too.
Shit man, looks like I keep my promises after all.
