Promises Lyrics

by The Morning Benders

This spirit is holding us down
We shit our shoulders are in deep
Pulling us to the light
Toasted our backs in the sun
And I waited for the next call
We got all out ears pressed against the wall

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e40035-the_morning_benders~promises_lyrics.html ]
But now our days are set straight
We're seeing it all eye to eye
The balance is still chasing after
Just hanging on as you walk by

And they say it's only natural
They say we're coming along just fine
But I can't help thinking we grew up too fast
And I know, I know, I know this won't last,
a second longer than it has.

Children you will, be cared for at once
And wanted our arms like promises plucked from above

This world is only getting smaller
The choices aren't ours to be made
And I to my days
I feel like wasting my days

And I can't see what's coming on
And I can't say it will all be fine
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast
No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast
And I know, I know, I know this won't last,
a second longer than it has
