Promises - Savage Garden

Well don’t you know I need a little indulgence?

Well listen to the hunter becoming hunted

Every day there’s a million advances

Don’t be too forceful you’ll ruin your chances

Well don’t you know that time is a broken glass

That splinters against the wall?

But the picture is coming back now baby

And I want to take it all

Don’t go making all these promises

You know you cannot keep

There’s a time to play a king

And a time to be the thief

'Cause if you’re making all these

Promises you know you cannot keep

You know time will be the thief

And your fallen king will end up alone

So let your body move a little bit closer

Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone

Don’t you know that powerful thinking

Can be a force you don’t want to relinquish?

Well don’t you know that

They say that hanging on will justify the wait?

But patience and elated wisdom

Don’t share a common phrase

Don’t go making all these promises

You know you cannot keep

There’s a time to play a king

And a time to be the thief

'Cause if you’re making all these

Promises you know you cannot keep

You know time will be the thief

And your fallen king will end up alone

Well, I’m only hanging on for what goes down

I’m floating high and my feet don’t touch the ground

I’d take advantage but I can’t see through this charade

So don’t you, don’t go make it harder than hell

Don’t go making promises

Don’t go making promises

'Cause when it comes down to the making

You better be damned sure you can take it

Hey baby

Don’t go making promises

Don’t go making promises

Oh baby, don’t you know baby?

Don’t go making all these promises

You know you cannot keep

There’s a time to play a king

And a time to be the thief

'Cause if you’re making all these

Promises you know you cannot keep

You know time will be the thief

And your fallen king will end up alone

Don’t go making all these promises

You know you cannot keep

There’s a time to play a king

And a time to be the thief

'Cause if you’re making all these promises

You know you cannot keep

You know time will be the thief

And your fallen king will end up alone, alone, alone

Always be alone

Oh baby, that’s you know baby, yeah
