The Atmosphere Lyrics by Jon McLaughlin

Promising Promises

2012

[Verse 1]
Before we lose the light of day
Before our words take their place
Before the mystery has been erased
Let's close our eyes
Before we are who we'll become
Before it's all been said and done
And the truth that we swear upon
Has faded to lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's ignore the end growing near
Tell me things I wanna hear

[Chorus]
If we're going down, baby, don't tell me now
I just want to stay high up in the sky, flying around
We can watch all our fear burning up in the atmosphere
Tell me why is it hard to believe it will always be you and me

[Verse 2]
After we see the morning light
After a million sleepless nights
After us, after all this time
Let's close our eyes
And ignore the end growing near
Tell me things I wanna hear

[Chorus]
If we're going down, baby, don't tell me now
I just want to stay high up in the sky, flying around
So we can watch all our fear burning up in the atmosphere
Tell me why is it hard to believe it will always be you

[Outro]
And why is it so hard to do
Baby, I still believe it will always be you and me
