Promises - 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

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
