Promenade Lyrics - Singles - Motion City Soundtrack

You can't see me peering through my glasses 

You've been staring much too long 

She walked away she walked away 

Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade 

The first time I met you, falsetto sighs 

and the fire flies on dusty shoes and injured knees, 

you turned and walked away 

Subtract the bottom, add fractions on sleepy afternoons, 

take one and pass them backwards, caught 

you turned and smiled away 

You can't see me peering through my glasses 

You've been staring much too long 

She walked away, you walked away 

Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade 

Sharing driveways with ? fence and your rollerskates 

Next doors neighbors, backseat drivers, driving friends forever 

4 months and 6 years later stroll through the ends of an empty hall 

Contact is question now that we belong to separate crowds 

In the hallway after school, I tried to play it cool 

And you fell behind your friends 

Something made me move 

But my movement was too late as I slipped and hit the floor 

When you helped me to my feet 

Your face made me believe 

You can't see me peering through my glasses 

You've been staring much too long 

She walked away she walked away 

Try to think of a better way to ask you to the promenade 

In the hallway after school, I tried to play it cool 

And you fell behind your friends 

Something made me move 

But my movements were all wrong 

You turned and walked away 

Now I find myself alone singing songs and writing blues 

And as the coronation starts I see you at promenade 

You can't see me peering through my glasses 

You've been staring much too long 

She walked away she walked away 

Try to think of a better way to let you do the promenade
