The Black and White Years - Promises Lyrics
I want to be with you.i want to be with you at the end, clutching out for the rope you're tossing me.i want to be with you, dearest friend, i'm desperate for the hope you're offering.i want to be with you.don't promise me the world. i simply do not want it.my interest lies elsewhere - your eye to eye, your time and mine might come aligned.don't promise me your heart. i simply cannot touch it.my fingers are clumsy, my faith is weak. time is nigh and i've no mind to speak.so many promises, whispered promises - fiction written quickly, but well-rehearsed.so many promises, broken promises - your improv monologues, they came off perfectly.i want to be with you, all alone. seperate from the world, we'll fall in love.i want to be with you. and alone. i'm desperate for you, girl. i'm not giving up.i want to be with you.
