Some By Sea - The Things We All Carry Around lyrics

Promises, oh promises, where are you hiding yourselves? In the heart of some pretentious love that is better off alone For several weeks I've known this is my last chance to whisper Some nonsense sentence of mild repentance For the things we all carry around Coffee grounds, a cold sore in April Your hair in my mouth It was all requested The bedroom eyes of a fallen angel Make for a clouded mind But how long did you know That someday you'd pack up And push off gently with a photograph, a cold memory And a letter that I didn't deserve? On the first line, it said wait and see And so I toppled to the floor Then the next time, you said wait and see And now I carry this around Tasting this complex device of the sounds that you make They were quite the anthem To correct a borrowed drama And a headful of nothing but a wound-tight ego A flowery speech, it's not This is my last chance to whisper Some boring line about frozen time And the things we all carry around On the first line, it said wait and see And so I toppled to the floor Then the next time, you said wait and see And I pulled my hair out from its roots On the downside, this was all my fault I know I chose the long road again But on the flipside, there's a wait and see And now I carry this around On the first line, it said wait and see And so I toppled to the floor Then the next time, you said wait and see And I pulled my hair out from its roots On the downside, this was all my fault I know I chose the long road again But on the flipside, there's a wait and see And now I carry this around
