Track 7 from Charlie’s Oasis.

THE PROMISE

When I first saw you
there was nothing I wouldn’t do
to finally change my mind
about the other girls
but as time slips by
and you think about all those guys
who will never be the man
of your dreams

The days grow long
and we’ve been drinking all nightlong
I need time to get my mind off of you

I was a fool
but I tried to play it cool
when you say that it’s the way
its gotta be
now here I sit
and though the conversation is shit
I’ll stay for one more round
and then I’ll leave

You think about tomorrow
as the waitress drowns my sorrow
promises mean nothing in the end
and the day that I forget you
will be the day that I won’t miss you
promises mean nothing in the end

As the days grow long
we’ll keep drinking all night long
I need time to get my mind off of you
