Promises Lyrics - Big Echo - Morning Benders

This spirit is holding us down 

We shit our shoulders are in deep 

Pulling us to the light 

Toasted our backs in the sun 

And I waited for the next call 

We got all out ears pressed against the wall 

But now our days are set straight 

We're seeing it all eye to eye 

The balance is still chasing after 

Just hanging on as you walk by 

And they say it's only natural 

They say we're coming along just fine 

But I can't help thinking we grew up too fast 

And I know, I know, I know this won't last, 

a second longer than it has. 

Children you will, be cared for at once 

And wanted our arms like promises plucked from above 

This world is only getting smaller 

The choices aren't ours to be made 

And I to my days 

I feel like wasting my days 

And I can't see what's coming on 

And I can't say it will all be fine 

No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast 

No I can't help thinking we grew up too fast 

And I know, I know, I know this won't last, 

a second longer than it has
