Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
[Verse 2]
Let's argue in Ikea
Make a scene, go home and fuck
On unassembled furniture
Fresh off the moving truck
[Verse 3]
Let's rifle through old photographs
After the basement floods
Black and whites and Polaroids
On clotheslines up above
[Verse 4]
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
[Verse 5]
We'll sign up for wine of the month
Play drinking games for old folks
Sick the cat on kitchen mice
Feign laughs at your old jokes
[Verse 6]
In the Eastern Townships
With your old man on the porch steps
Knowing that we slowly die
With each and every breath
[Verse 7]
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
I wanna make promises that I can't keep
