Promising Light Lyrics

Promising Light lyrics

time & all you gave

i was the jerk who preferred the sea

to tussling in the waves

tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please



but now i see love

tracked on the floor where you walked outside

now i see love

looking for you in this other girl's eyes



time & all you took

only my freedom to fuck the whole world

promising not to look

promising light on the sidewalk girls



but now i see love

there in your car where i said those things

now i see love

tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please



time & all you gave

there on your cross that i never saw

well beyond the waves

dunking my head when i heard you call



but now i see love

there in the scab where you pinched my leg

now i see love

there on your side of my empty bed
