Emily Lazar - Promises lyrics

This spirit is holding us down Pushin' our shoulders in deep Pulling us through the lines Toasting our backs in the sun Now I'm waiting to hear my next call We got all out ears pressed against the wall But now our gaze is set straight We're seeing it all eye to eye While balance is still chasing after Just hanging on as we walk by And they say it's only natural They say we're coming along just fine But I can't help thinking we grew up too fast And I know, I know, I know this won't last A second longer than it has Children you will Be cared for at once And warmed in our arms like promises plucked from above This world is only getting smaller The choices aren't ours to be made I meant to waste all my days I feel like wasting my days And I've seen what's coming on And I can't say it will all be fine Yet I can't help thinking we grew up too fast, no No, I can't help thinking we grew up too fast, no And I know, I know, I know this won't last A second longer than it has to
