Testi

[Verse 1]
The ghostly possibilities
You could conjure with your hands
The rest of us could tell you were inspired
Though sometimes it seemed a little planned
I loved to watch you sleeping in the morning  light
Before you set your face
Before the others, even me, before we crowded in
And you were free a little while from time and space
[Verse 2]
But you promised me, you promised me
That you wouldn't run and hide
And in the evenings sometimes, when I'm sad and half asleep
I wonder if you should have tried
[Verse 3]
Gonna go and have a sit-down with the sit-down types
When I crawl out of my bed
When I'm done lying to all the liars, gonna go and lie back down
Put the cardboard crown back on my head
[Verse 4]
If I close my eyes while walking, will you come and take my hand?
I remember how it feels, I could stand so very still
Every crowded corner, crossing every avenue
There's a chance, there's a chance, there's a chance
[Verse 5]
But you promised me, you promised me
That you wouldn't run and hide
And in the evenings sometimes, when I'm sad and half asleep
I wonder if you should have tried
[Verse 6]
But you promised me, you promised me
That you wouldn't run and hide
But in the mornings when I'm cold and wish I was asleep
I wonder if you weren't right
[Verse 7]
I know that for you the world was painful like a fire
I'm waiting, not with patience, nor desire
But soft despair, pale and cold, and knowing that I knew you were a liar
[Verse 8]
But you promised me, you promised me
That you wouldn't run and hide
And in the evenings sometimes, when I'm sad and half asleep
I wonder if you should have tried
[Verse 9]
But you promised me, you promised me
That you wouldn't run and hide
But in the mornings when I'm cold and wish I was asleep
I wonder if you weren't right
[Verse 10]
Whatever words, whatever words I thought you promised me
Let me cast them from my mind
I can stand before the stillness of reality
Just gotta, just gotta give it time, gotta give it time, gotta give it time
