Promises - Bastille/Riz Ahmed

Lyrics by：Riz Ahmed

Composed by：Riz Ahmed

Look baby I can't promise you nothin'

I mean the future could be all

We need or plugs in a dustbin

I see the clouds all brewing guess

We're due for a floodin'

The cold blue light blinds

But my ark is your lovin'

AI in the sky hummin'

The world's burning but **** it

Asleep stomach to stomach is all

I need to be honest

Not 'cause I'm evil or ostrich

But 'cah my people turned prophets

Already walking on water while

The sea level's frothing

Yeah it's heavy tread steady but

This ain't any old romance

Babe you were just my best lay and

I never planned to hold hands

'Til the whole of human history

Aligned so we could slow dance

And those that came before us

Suffered more so is it so bad

They carried us as hope inside

Their ovaries and gonads

So sunburned or drowned or deleted

It's the end of we but maybe

We're the bitter seeds that grow into a lemon tree

Yeah the past and the future lives

Inside the present's energy

So show a little tenderness now

And love flows endlessly

Time is on a loop like the sun

That's it's destiny

So the truth is how you lie here next

To me is how we'll forever be
