Promises Lyrics by The Eames Era

Double Dutch

2005

Sorry to disturb you
I am only visiting
I’m only passing through you see
I really hope I didn’t wake you up
You’ve had so many names pass
Too many you could lose track
So close your eyes go back to sleep
When you wake up you won’t remember me
Far off places, we’ll get there some day
We’ll never look like movie stars, anyways
Cause promises were made to break
You say that you can make me
A dream for all the next in line
Behind the sun I’m only shadows
They lost their breath and sign their lives away
We’ll burn like gas for a week or two
Then take our place in hall of fame
If passers-by who walk on through
Cause promises were made to break
So pardon me for everything
Sometimes I’m not all here you see
Sometimes my mind drifts off to sleep
I dream in shifts and wake up at thirty
Far off places, we’ll get there someday
We’ll never look like movie stars, anyway
Cause promises are made to break
And it’s that hard, yes
And it’s that hard
So there goes my heart
