I been watching the birds as they go
I been keepin my bank account low
I been keepin my end of the deal
with Saint Anthony and Saint Thomas
My little sister gave it a hell of a try
You know I hear it gets worse when you die
I can't believe you got me waiting for another year
But if you ever make it back I'll be here
And I'll be ready, I promise
I promise
I hear your voice say things to me
But I get up for nothing 'cause I'm afraid to see
Every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in
But I'll still be here if you want me back again
I promise
I promise
You can always come home
I promise
You can always come home
I try to count the chimes
Water the flowers above the sink sometimes
I listen to your records
Do you still have mine?
Every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in
So I promise not to try to make it breathe again
I promise
I been keepin my bank account low
I been keepin my end of the deal
with Saint Anthony and Saint Thomas
My little sister gave it a hell of a try
You know I hear it gets worse when you die
I can't believe you got me waiting for another year
But if you ever make it back I'll be here
And I'll be ready, I promise
I promise
I hear your voice say things to me
But I get up for nothing 'cause I'm afraid to see
Every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in
But I'll still be here if you want me back again
I promise
I promise
You can always come home
I promise
You can always come home
I try to count the chimes
Water the flowers above the sink sometimes
I listen to your records
Do you still have mine?
Every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in
So I promise not to try to make it breathe again
I promise
