lyrics
Promise fifty
Is on its way down the drain
But I plugged it up just in time
And he says that’s weak
He doesn’t know
It’s the strongest I’ll ever be
I guess it’s stronger than water and gravity
But he doesn’t realize
When you promise, you can’t compromise
Every battle is won with the toss of a coin
If all stays the same the coin is double sided
I know who’s gunna take this one
'cause at the end of the day
I’m under sheets with her voice
I’m in between two beasts
I can’t stop them from making shreds of me
I’m like a shared blanket
In frigid temperatures
It’s the hardest thing I could
To choose them over you
But sometimes I have to
Overlook them and see you
(Chorus)
I took a stand when I sat with him and said
I’m on a tight rope
With my heart in my left hand
And a piano in the other
And when I fall I’ll be caught
By the wife or my brothers
(Chorus)
I’m under sheets with her voice
That will never fade from me
Is on its way down the drain
But I plugged it up just in time
And he says that’s weak
He doesn’t know
It’s the strongest I’ll ever be
I guess it’s stronger than water and gravity
But he doesn’t realize
When you promise, you can’t compromise
Every battle is won with the toss of a coin
If all stays the same the coin is double sided
I know who’s gunna take this one
'cause at the end of the day
I’m under sheets with her voice
I’m in between two beasts
I can’t stop them from making shreds of me
I’m like a shared blanket
In frigid temperatures
It’s the hardest thing I could
To choose them over you
But sometimes I have to
Overlook them and see you
(Chorus)
I took a stand when I sat with him and said
I’m on a tight rope
With my heart in my left hand
And a piano in the other
And when I fall I’ll be caught
By the wife or my brothers
(Chorus)
I’m under sheets with her voice
That will never fade from me
