[Intro]
I know I promised you more than this
I know I said we'd be out of this town by Christmas
Or some promise I didn't know
Well some promises are made to break
And some days I can't take the rain
And the waiting stings
[Verse]
We're two red eyes wrapped in black
Yeah, I was moving forwards but looking back
And I fell so hard
We're stomach cramps and roulette wheels
The only dreams worth chasing you have to steal
Wish it were easy
But hope is never lost, only abandoned
And every bridge you burn down leaves a stanchion
A new way home
Just take the long way home
Take the long way home
Alone
[Verse]
Well anxiety shaking hands
Hidden under tables and clutching cans
In a cold, cold sweat
I got 16 sober days
In the shallow gauze to celebrate
Just in time to be too late
I'm pouring everything that I own
It wasn't much but I should've known
They're the sheets I know
We're tinned peaches and diamond rings
Weighing on my mind, dancing in my dreams
In this empty hotel room
[Verse]
From the hotel, to the payphone, to the car park where I pace and pace
And we're in the car park, back to the pay phone, back to the hotel and lay and stare awake
And we're breathing deep
Breathing deep
Breathing deep
[Outro]
Cause it's hard to dream when you lay right where you landed
And last time we got this cold you couldn't stand it
Every dream ends the same
Yeah, with you leaving me
Yeah with you leaving me
And tonight
Your hope is never lost, only abandoned
