Promises

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
