[Verse 1]
We fell in love in the city
I'd never seen it this cold
She said, "I hate how you're living"
Then pushed me against the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't want to leave
It's a damn cold night
And I don't want to sleep
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive
[Chorus]
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?
[Post-Chorus]
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
Stay here (Don't make too many promises)
Stay here (You make it hard to be alone)
Here
[Verse 2]
I wasn't always a cynic
It's just I've been bought and sold
But you saw the beauty inside it
At twenty-seven years old
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I don't want to leave
It's a damn cold night
And I don't want to sleep
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive
[Chorus]
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?
Can I (Can I) stay here tonight?
Can I (Can I) stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?
[Post-Chorus]
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
Stay here (Don't make too many promises)
Stay here (You make it hard to be alone)
Here
[Outro]
It's the promises
We break 'em every time
And every consequence
We kiss between the lines
And do it all again
I guess I just feel better around you
It's the promises
We make 'em every time
And every word that you said
I hang on every line
I do it all again
I guess I just feel better around you

’Promises' was the song written for the EP that finally made me feel like I was really onto something. It started with merely a drum beat, which I find ironic as I’m not a drummer. But I think maybe it’s that naivete that led to this song being created. It’s about a time in my life when I saw the wo...
