"Promised Land"
Since December 2016 I decided to pick up the pen once again and go back to my roots, writing lyrics. From now on forwards, I will work more frequently on new lyrics. I hope you enjoy them. This one is called promised land. It's about love. The person that it's about can't get the person who he deeply loves, so he doesn't think he deserves to live happily ever after. It's a heartfelt song which indeed were inspired by own experiences.
I can't enter the promised land like this
My thoughts and prayers formed that kiss
It's you the miss that I'm not supposed to wish
Had to postpone that first summer night with you
Now I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But I can't ride along with you no more
And I hate myself for needing you
I can't enter the promised land with you
The moon each night reminds me of you
I'm barely alive my soul still waits for you
But I messed up good and that's the simple truth
I can't enter the promised land like this
Although I'm marching on most of times
It's this road I took when we had that fight
While I was practising my word of bliss
You slowly slipped into some thick mist
Now I do know what you tried to say
But I can't come along anymore, again
And I hate myself for missing you
I can't enter the promised land with you
The moon each night reminds me of you
I'm barely alive my soul still waits for you
But I messed up good and that's the only truth
I can't enter the promised land like this
I've been searching answers why it was you
And only end up finding questions instead
Wish I could go back to rewrite that misstep
When you asked me for the last dance
Now I know which road I had to take
But I can't go back to you no more
And I hate myself for wanting to
I can't enter the promised land alone
The moon each night reminds me of you
I'm barely alive my soul still waits for you
But I messed up good and that's the only truth
My dear I know what I was supposed to do
When your eyes were filled with tears and sourness
But when your heart ached for mine
Left you unanswered for that high school night
