The Jealous Sound - Promise Of The West lyrics

It's the first one on the right Looks different now than it does at night Palms to gla**, like a town The taxicab back to your hotel And it was more Than every now and then Like some endless love affair But you just wanted it again I left you there, so i'll spare the social grace I wasn't strong enough for both of us In this god forsaken place And i wish you well And you'd better hold on Couldn't break the gaze of wild eyes You got it all wrong, couldn't force my will to make you try And i can feel your racing chest, just pressing down on mine You couldn't feel what i had found You always lacked the rope to wrap around [?] You couldn't be the one, you couldn't be the one You couldn't call or come to me I sang it out, you sang it back to me Sang it back to me, sang it back to me You sang it back to me Cicadas' song, wasn't really a song at all Just vibrations of its loneliness Like some desperation call So leave me here, like some unwelcome guest But you abandoned both of us, in this promise of the west Promise me the best, but i wish you well And you'd better hold on Couldn't break the gaze of wild eyes You got it all wrong, couldn't force my will to make you try And i can feel your racing chest, just beating out of time I guess we'll both survive Some demons you can't exercise I wrote it down to wish you well On the taxicab back to your hotel
