Promises (Live)

Two hearts that shouldn't talk to each other Have 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 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 town where they drag your hopes through the mud Because their own dreams are all dying And when they walk down the street The wind sings our names and revels on The sounds of the night should make us anxious But it's much too late when the spirit's gone Oh, I will meet you in the next life I promise you Where we can be together I promise you I will wait until 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 they walk down the street The wind sings our names and revels on But it's much too late when the spirit's gone Oh, I will meet you in the next life I promise you Where we can be together I promise you I will wait until then in heaven I promise you I promise, I promise Oh, I will meet you in the next life I promise you Where we can be together I promise you I will wait until then in heaven I promise you I promise, I promise
