Promises
Broken Vows and Late-Night Pledges: Noah Austin's 'Promises' Unveiled
Lyrics
I said yes sir I'll have her home by 10
I agreed to bring her home by 10.
At 11:15 we were in the driveway kissin'
By 11:15, we were kissing in the driveway.
There's a party tonight in my buddy's field
There's a party in my friend's field tonight.
I promised mama I would'nt even have one beer
I promised my mom not to have even one beer.
All these promises I know I can't keep
I acknowledge I make promises that I cannot keep.
There's a price to pay for what I say It ain't always cheap
There are consequences for my words, and it's not always easy.
I get in over my head sometimes way too deep
I often find myself in situations that are too challenging.
Stumbling over all these promises
Struggling with the commitments I've made.
I know I can't keep
Realizing the impossibility of keeping certain promises.
I told my moma I'd be good in school
I assured my mom I would behave well in school.
Then I busted some loud mouth's lip I felt so damn cool
Despite that, I got into a fight and felt cool about it.
I told my daddy I'd never touch that chew
I promised my dad I wouldn't use chewing tobacco.
When he found that can of wintergreen I didn't know what to do
He discovered a can of wintergreen, and I didn't know how to react.
All these promises I know I can't keep
Reflecting on promises that I'm aware I can't uphold.
There's a price to pay for what I say It ain't always cheap
Consequences exist for what I say, and they can be costly.
I get in over my head sometimes way too deep
Frequently finding myself in situations that are too intense.
Stumbling over all these promises
Struggling with the commitments I've made.
I know I can't keep
Realizing the impossibility of keeping certain promises.
Yeah they may come to haunt me some day
Acknowledging that these promises may come back to haunt me.
God only knows I can't control
Recognizing that I cannot fully control what I say.
What I say
Understanding the unpredictability of my words.
All these promises I know I can't keep
Reflecting on promises that I'm aware I can't uphold.
There's a price to pay for what I say It ain't always cheap
Consequences exist for what I say, and they can be costly.
I get in over my head sometimes way too deep
Frequently finding myself in situations that are too intense.
Stumbling over all these promises
Struggling with the commitments I've made.
I know I can't keep
Realizing the impossibility of keeping certain promises.
Stumbling over all these promises
Continuing to grapple with unfulfilled promises.
I know I can't keep
Acknowledging the ongoing struggle with promises I can't keep.
