I Promise

[Verse 1]
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 going up
What could have made our love that way
We both know I went too far
This time I believe you’re going
You escape into the parking lot
I’m tired, so tired of followin' you home

[Chorus]
Can we ever go back to the life we had
Can we ever go back to the life we had when it’s over

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Bridge]
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
Against the brick wall we would bend
Again

[Chorus 3]
You can never go back to the life you had
You can only go back to the life you have
You can never go back to the life you had
You can only go back to the life you have
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
You can only go back
You can never go back
You can never go back
