Promise Rings

Looking back again I feel like a child See that I'm loving, see that I'm loving A pair in stereo, in single file Lazy, waking, wasting in the halls Been thinking 'bout you now these days in the morning What with this place all gone to hell and burning Promise rings Promise rings, baby Your promise rings untrue and undying All your books and pretty things you left Your promise rings Untrue and undying You know I kept the note you slipped in my hand Lunch on a Friday, drugs where the dogwoods stand A couple couplets, what the night might hold Home alone, your folks had gone to Ocracoke Promise rings Promise rings, baby Your promise rings untrue and undying All your books and pretty things you left Your promise rings Untrue and undying Kissing on me felt so sweet Slows days in the summer, nights out on the beach I was the one they warned you about And you were a foreign taste in my mouth Kissing on me felt so sweet Slows days in the summer, nights out on the beach I was the one they warned you about And you were a foreign taste in my mouth On your soapbox in your Sunday school Broke my heart, but it ain't nothing new Promise rings Promise rings, baby Your promise rings untrue and undying All your books and pretty things you left Your promise rings Untrue and undying
