promised

Face first in the public pool

Swerved off the interstate one night

Hurts most once you're home from school

You’d quit this out of spite

There’s so many ways to call it a day

When you don’t know where to go

Just let the little guy bright

In the crosswalk light

Guide you to where you need to go

Sometimes it’s fortune

Sometimes it’s fate

When you just miss the green light

But something’s keeping you safe

While it’s making you late

It’s a wonder that you’ve made it all this time

At best you're the shape of you

In shadows on blinding flood light fields

That green apple shampoo

You're sculpted baby bell peels

You're dryer steam, you're someone’s wet dream

Ice cream for a meal

You're singalongs to Christmas songs

Or a dog at your heels

Sleep long for the sheet prints it leaves on my face

Tomorrow isn’t promised, but I woke today

I don’t really care how long I get to stay

So long as I’m gone once I've felt everything

So long as I’m gone once I've felt everything

So long as I’m gone once I've felt everything
