Promises Lyrics - Savage Garden - Savage Garden

Well don't you know I need a little indulgence? 

Well listen to the hunter becoming hunted 

Every day there's a million advances 

Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances 

Well don't you know that time is a broken glass 

That splinters against the wall? 

But the picture is coming back now baby 

And I want to take it all 

Don't go making all these promises 

You know you cannot keep 

There's a time to play a king 

And a time to be the thief 

'Cause if you're making all these 

Promises you know you cannot keep 

You know time will be the thief 

And your fallen king will end up alone 

So let your body move a little bit closer 

Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone 

Don't you know that powerful thinking 

Can be a force you don't want to relinquish? 

Well don't you know that 

They say that hanging on will justify the wait? 

But patience and elated wisdom 

Don't share a common phrase 

Don't go making all these promises 

You know you cannot keep 

There's a time to play a king 

And a time to be the thief 

'Cause if you're making all these 

Promises you know you cannot keep 

You know time will be the thief 

And your fallen king will end up alone 

Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down 

I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground 

I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade 

So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell 

Don't go making promises 

Don't go making promises 

'Cause when it comes down to the making 

You better be damned sure you can take it 

Hey baby 

Don't go making promises 

Don't go making promises 

Oh baby, don't you know baby? 

Don't go making all these promises 

You know you cannot keep 

There's a time to play a king 

And a time to be the thief 

'Cause if you're making all these 

Promises you know you cannot keep 

You know time will be the thief 

And your fallen king will end up alone 

Don't go making all these promises 

You know you cannot keep 

There's a time to play a king 

And a time to be the thief 

'Cause if you're making all these promises 

You know you cannot keep 

You know time will be the thief 

And your fallen king will end up alone, alone, alone 

Always be alone 

Oh baby, that's you know baby, yeah
