[Lyric] Promises (Isabel Wood)

[Verse 1]
Mountains move faster when you put your back into it
I try to reach for the stars but my heart just can't handle the hit
I'm waiting for someone to come home and tell me to stop
Overthinking the whys and the whos until everything's gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Watch for the streetlights, the rivers
Hold your resistance
Everything hurts in the cold
Sit in the evening, with moonlight retreating
And know that you're never alone

[Chorus]
And when you feel like your stories
Have been washed up by the storm
And all the words that you never
Got to say might soon be gone
But I don't know and I don't care
Through all of the promises
I'll always be there
[Verse 2]
After a while you realise you've been here before
So I'll light up the darkness and lead you back home to the shore

[Pre-Chorus]
Watch for the streetlights, the rivers
Hold your resistance
Everything hurts in the cold
Sit in the evening, with moonlight retreating
And know that you're never alone

[Chorus]
And when you feel like your stories
Have been washed up by the storm
And all the words that you never
Got to say might soon be gone
But I don't know and I don't care
Through all of the promises
I'll always be there

[Bridge]
I see it in the darkness
This thing won't go away
It's hard to make my legs move
When I just want to stay (stay)
I see it in the darkness
This thing won't go away
It's hard to make my legs move
When all I wanna do is stay
[Chorus]
And when you feel like your stories
Have been washed up by the storm
And all the words that you never
Got to say might soon be gone
But I don't know and I don't care
Through all of the promises
I'll always be there
