Promises

Two hearts that shouldn't

Talk to each other become close

In a town much like a prison cell



People speak our names

On the street in hushed tones

Oh the stories they'd tell

If anyone would listen



You come from a town where

People don't bother saying hello

Unless somebody's born or dies



And I come from a place where they

Drag your hopes through the mud

Because their own dreams are all dying



And when we walk down the street

The wind sings our name in rebel songs

The sounds of the night should make us anxious

But it's much too late when the fear is gone



I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you

Where we can be together, I promise you

I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you

I promise, I promise



There's so many fighting

To get past the Pearly Gates

But nobody ever wants to die or get saved



Their intentions aren't that good

And I can smell the asphalt

That's their personal road to hell being paved



And when we walk down the street

The wind sings our name in rebel songs

But it's much too late when the fear is gone



I will meet you in the Next Life, I promise you

Where we can be together, I promise you

I will wait till then in Heaven, I promise you

I promise, I promise
