Perfume and Promises

A crack in the smile

But she's always in style while she waits

Waving goodbye

But she's too tired to cry and she's wasted

A letter he wrote

But it's far too exposed, so he throws it away

The sound of regret

As it's counting the steps back to safe

I don't wanna leave you with perfume and promises

But we'll never know 'til we capture and bottle it

'Cause wouldn't it be such a shame

If all was wasted?

Not an inch of the room

That isn't in bloom or in light

So we drink 'til it's dawn

Every drip 'til it's gone and we're wasted

It's a thing of the truth

But we'll lie and we'll look for the perfect escape

And the moment will go

Like melted snow in the rain, oh

Don't wanna leave you with perfume and promises

But we'll never know 'til we capture and bottle it

'Cause wouldn't it be such a shame

If all was wasted?

Stay for another morning

Study the curves on my face

Stay even when we're unknowing

Stay 'til they tear you away

Don't wanna leave you with perfume and promises

But we'll never know 'til we capture and bottle it

'Cause wouldn't it be such a shame

If all was wasted?
