Promising Songtext
von Wilco

Ready?

Cross your fingers behind your back
Squeeze mine until they crack
I must have known that you were just promising
Promising, promising

Toothy smile, girly style
In the backyard, all the while
I must have known that you were just promising
Promising, promising


I promise you and you promise me
Not to admit defeat
I promise, you promise me

So comforting, to wear your ring
Over my head, around my finger
I must have known you were just promising
Promising, promising

And I promise you and you promise me
Not to admit defeat
I promise, you promise me
I promise, you promise me
