THE JEALOUS SOUND LYRICS

"Promise Of The West"

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
