First the trauma The heavy blow Then recover And we don't know of course we don't ♪ We cut the hook line And leave the barb We know the name
Of every scar ♪ Hold ourselves to promises Made when we were ignorant ♪ Hold ourselves to promises Made when we were innocent ♪ And the heart flows like a river It finds the quickest way down Sweeps up the soul and its blisters Comes pouring out of the mouth And sometimes we're strong enough swimmers And this time It wasn't us smashed on the rocks Hold ourselves to promises Made when we were ignorant ♪ Hold ourselves to promises Made when we were innocent ♪ We hold ourselves to promises We made when we were children ♪ Oh please brother be kind when you're hurting We'll all feel the blow
