[Chorus]
All I found to get me through
Was a vaguely worded promise said by you, you, you
It's turning out to be a perfect way
To keep this place from burning down
To tell you the truth
[Verse 1]
Any time voices pierce the calm
It's the most boring conversation ever
Listening to people tell you your future
Impatiently awaiting September
[Verse 2]
Any time acquaintance call your number
You anticipate feeling scared
Recognize faces you remember
From the long ago days of terror
[Chorus]
All I found to get me through
Was a vaguely worded promise said by you, you, you
It's turning out to be a perfect way
To keep this place from burning down
To tell you the truth
[Outro]
Always with that guilt and sadness
Some days I would believe it's true
I'll wait for that empty promise
I'll take what I can get from you
Always with that guilt and sadness
Some days I would believe it's true
I'll wait for that empty promise
I'll take what I can get from you
