That glorious day
We ran outside
Cuz the two days before
It had rained lakes
Our mothers asked us not to be long
We never kept our promises
We knew the curves like the back of our hands
Of the women we kept frozen in a photograph
Our mother asked us please not to do wrong
We never kept our promises
Despite the dull heat
We managed to grow
Our legs were wild horses
From blood until bone
Our mother asked us to never grow old
We never kept our promises
We never kept them
We never dared
I could've sworn there was more to it all
I could've sworn it took a little longer than this
In the blink of an eye it was over and gone
I could've sworn I had promised her this
That glorious day
We ran behind you
The screams of your mother were dripping down the driveway
When your brother fell
And his skin gave to bone
You became a man when you carried him home
Carried him home
You carried us home
That summer we became a man
Our mothers asked us not to be long
We never kept our promises
We ran outside
Cuz the two days before
It had rained lakes
Our mothers asked us not to be long
We never kept our promises
We knew the curves like the back of our hands
Of the women we kept frozen in a photograph
Our mother asked us please not to do wrong
We never kept our promises
Despite the dull heat
We managed to grow
Our legs were wild horses
From blood until bone
Our mother asked us to never grow old
We never kept our promises
We never kept them
We never dared
I could've sworn there was more to it all
I could've sworn it took a little longer than this
In the blink of an eye it was over and gone
I could've sworn I had promised her this
That glorious day
We ran behind you
The screams of your mother were dripping down the driveway
When your brother fell
And his skin gave to bone
You became a man when you carried him home
Carried him home
You carried us home
That summer we became a man
Our mothers asked us not to be long
We never kept our promises
