The Last Promise

Intro

Ooh

Mmm

Missing you

Verse 1

Small cracks trace the plaster above

Winter air turns thin

Paper ships sail on frozen lakes

The tide pulled out

The room stayed cold

Pre-Chorus

Was it something I failed to mention

Was it how I breathed

Searching for a single reason

Chorus

Tell me why the birds forgot to fly south

Why your name is salt inside my mouth

I am calling out to rafters

I am waiting for the answer

I still carry every promise like a stone

Verse 2

Dust settles on the frame

Quiet kitchen chair

Pale morning light bleeds through the glass

You aren't there

Distance grew wings

Pre-Chorus

Was it something I failed to mention

Was it how I breathed

Searching for a single reason

Chorus

Tell me why the birds forgot to fly south

Why your name is salt inside my mouth

I am calling out to rafters

I am waiting for the answer

I still carry every promise like a stone

Bridge

Maybe you're lost

Maybe you're gone

Maybe you're free

While I am just a shadow on the wall

Left with nothing at all

Nothing but the weight of us

Chorus

Tell me why the birds forgot to fly south

Why your name is salt inside my mouth

I am calling out to rafters

I am waiting for the answer

I still carry every promise like a stone

Outro

I am calling out

I am waiting here

I am still alone

Searching for the why

Just a stone

Ooh

Mmm
