Promises Songtext
von The Black and White Years

I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you, at the end

Clutching out for the rope you′re tossing me
I want to be with you, dearest friend
Desperate for the hope you're offering

I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
I want to be with you

Don′t promise me the world I simply do not want it
My interst lies elsewhere, you're eye to eye
Your time and mine might come aligned

Don't promise me your heart I simply cannot touch it
My fingers are clumsy, my faith is weak
Time is nigh and I′ve no mind to speak


So many promises, whispered promises
Fiction written quickly, but well rehearsed
So many promises (I want to be with you)
Broken promises (I want to be with you)
Your improv monologues (I want to be with you)
They came off perfectly (I want to be with you)

I want to be with you all alone
Seperate from the world we fall in love
I want to be with you and alone
I′m desperate for you girl, not giving up

Don't promise me the world, I simply do not want it
My interest lies elsewhere, you′re eye to eye
Your time and mine might come aligned

Don't promise me your heart I simply cannot touch it
My fingers are clumsy, my faith is weak
Time is nigh and I′ve no mind to speak

Don't promise me the world, I simply do not want
My interest lies elsewhere, you′re eye to eye
Your time and mine might come aligned
