Promise me no promises


Arrows To Athens – Used To Be

Take a breath take a long look around
Before you step
Cause the tide is coming.
Swallowing the ground
And there's no way to tell if we will drown tonight,
Or we'll be found tonight.

Come in close; if the current gets us,
Then it gets us both.
And we can't wait here anymore

So if the waves come, let 'em take us-
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
I hope that they won't forget us
But we cannot go back to the way it used to be.

Take it in; take a good look at
What it might have been.
As we're swept into the water from the shore,
Because there's no way they can tell us that we can't have more
Because we can have more.

As the waves come, let 'em take us
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
I hope that they won't forget us
No we cannot go back to the way it used to be.

So certain, where it would take us
So sure that we were never lost
To notice whether we'll be drowned tonight or found tonight...

So as the waves come, let 'em take us
As they cover you and me, and they pull us underneath
It takes the shape of who will save us.
When it leaves it's hard to know,
But I will not let you go.

I hope that fate will forgive us for tempting the sea.
I hope that they won't forget us
No we cannot go back to the way it used to be.
I hope that they won't forget us
No we cannot go back to the way it used to be.
