Promise Of The West - The Jealous Sound

It’s the first one on the right

Looks different now than it does at night

Palms to glass, like a town

The taxicab back to your hotel

And it was more

Than every now and then

Like some endless love affair

But you just wanted it again

I left you there, so i’ll spare the social grace

I wasn’t strong enough for both of us

In this god forsaken place

And i wish you well

And you’d better hold on

Couldn’t break the gaze of wild eyes

You got it all wrong, couldn’t force my will to make you try

And i can feel your racing chest, just pressing down on mine

You couldn’t feel what i had found

You always lacked the rope to wrap around

You couldn’t be the one, you couldn’t be the one

You couldn’t call or come to me

I sang it out, you sang it back to me

Sang it back to me, sang it back to me

You sang it back to me

Cicadas' song, wasn’t really a song at all

Just vibrations of its loneliness

Like some desperation call

So leave me here, like some unwelcome guest

But you abandoned both of us, in this promise of the west

Promise me the best, but i wish you well

And you’d better hold on

Couldn’t break the gaze of wild eyes

You got it all wrong, couldn’t force my will to make you try

And i can feel your racing chest, just beating out of time

I guess we’ll both survive

Some demons you can’t exercise

I wrote it down to wish you well

On the taxicab back to your hotel
