promises

i remember those walks to that park by the shore
talking about levitation or the love it brings
the cherry marks left behind that passion sings

and how i stopped you before you could ever know
all the places you always wanted to go
even if you never knew how to walk away
cause we always had these levitations to help on our way

oh and how much i hated that lip gloss you wore
still couldn't wait to have to wipe it off my face again
as you promised to not wear it again, again

i guess we always knew the ending's story
the promises that sent us on our way home
the promises of blind answers to the future questions that we own
the promises of residue from trust betrayed and sold
the promises of all we've ever known

the promise to promise my way back home
