will butler - promised lyrics

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 from time and sp+ce

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

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
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
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

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

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

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

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
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 give it time
gotta give it time
gotta give it time
