I Promise

I've been watching the birds as they go
I've been keeping my bank account low
I've been keeping my end of the deal
St. Anthony and St. Thomas
My little sister gave it a hell of a try
You know I hear it gets worse when you die
I can't believe you got me waiting for another year
But if you ever make it back I'll be here
And I'll be ready, I promise
I promise
I hear your voice say things to me
But I get up for nothing cause I'm afraid to see
That everyday is so twisted, I know you won't give in
But I'll still be here if you want me back again
I promise, I promise
I promise you can always come home
I promise you can always come home
I try to count the chimes
Water the flowers and ride my skates sometimes
I listen to your records, do you still have mine?
And everyday is so twisted, I know you won't give in
So I promise not to try to make it real again
I promise
