Last Week: Survivor

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And seal it with a kiss

 

[MeanDean]

But everyone else is overcome by indifference
And the promise of an early bed

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Love when a song works for back to back topics

There's promise in the air

 

[MeanDean]

Well I can't promise that I'll spend a day with you
I can't promise that I'll find a way with you
I can't promise
No, I can't promise that I'll love you

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

You promised me heaven, then put me through hell

 

[MeanDean]

You gave a promise to me, yeah
And you broke it, and you broke it

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I pledge allegiance to the underworld

 

[MeanDean]

Do you promise not to tell

 

[bluestarcyclone]

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I'll be a good boy, I promise

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

 

[CYTWINCITIES]

 

[12191987]

To fall asleep I need white noise to distract me
Otherwise I have to listen to me think
Otherwise I pace around, hold my breath, let it out
Sit on the couch and think about how living is just a promise that I made

 

[MeanDean]

Just promise me darling, your love in return

 

[MeanDean]

Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

 

[MeanDean]
