Perfume and Promises
A crack in the smileBut she's always in style while she waitsWaving goodbyeBut she's too tired to cry and she's wasted
A letter he wroteBut it's far to expose so he throws it awayThe sound of regretAs it's counting the steps back to safe
I don't wanna leave you with perfume and promisesBut we'll never know 'til we capture and bottle it'Cause wouldn't it be such a shameIf all was wasted?
Not an inch of the roomThat isn't in bloom or in lightSo we drink 'til it's dawnEvery drip 'til it's gone and we're wasted
It's a thing of the truthBut we'll lie and we'll look for the perfect escapeAnd the moment will goLike melted snow in the rain, oh
Don't wanna leave you with perfume and promisesBut we'll never know 'til we capture and bottle it'Cause wouldn't it be such a shameIf all was wasted?
Stay for another morningStudy the curves on my faceStay even when we're unknowingStay 'til they tear you away
Don't wanna leave you with perfume and promisesBut we'll never know 'til we capture and bottle it'Cause wouldn't it be such a shameIf all was wasted?
