Promises
Echoes of Broken Promises: Jesse Malin's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
I think I saw the lights in all the houses
I observed lights in the windows of various houses.
I think I heard the last of your goodbyes
I believe I heard the final expressions of farewell from you.
I thought about the songs of stolen summers
I contemplated songs associated with stolen moments of summer.
That live in promises in our time
These songs reside in the promises made during our time together.
Call me a cab for the last plane to tomorrow
Please arrange a taxi for me to catch the last flight to the future.
Waiting down here for something all my life
I've been waiting here for something meaningful throughout my life.
Send my regards never been over the rainbow
Extend my greetings; I've never experienced extraordinary happiness.
I'm living with all you left behind
I am coping with everything you left behind.
I think I saw you walking to the station
I believe I witnessed you walking towards the train station.
I saw you had the glazed look in your eyes
Your eyes had a distant, unfocused expression when I saw you.
I thought about a love that never happened
I reflected on a love that never materialized.
We just made promises and alibis
We only made promises and excuses.
Call me a cab for the last plane to tomorrow
Arrange for a cab; I want to catch the last flight to the future.
Sing me a song about a summer suicide
Sing a song about a summer marked by tragedy.
Send my regards to my friend in California
Send my regards to my friend in California.
I'm living with all you left behind
I am dealing with everything you left behind.
You wake up and you break up and it always finds you here
You face challenges and heartbreaks, and it consistently brings you back here.
All you want to do is disappear
All you desire is to vanish and escape from it all.
Call me a cab for the last plane to tomorrow
Arrange for a cab to catch the last flight to the future.
Waiting down here for someone all my life
I've been waiting here for someone significant my entire life.
Send my regards to my home in New York City
Extend my greetings to my home in New York City.
I'm living with all you left behind
I am coping with everything you left behind.
Calling me up
You are calling me.
