Savage Garden - Promises Lyrics

Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Everyday 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's 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 play a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and you're fallen king will end up alone

So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding the cyclone
Don't you know that power thinking
Can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you know that,
They say tht hanging on will justify the wait?
But patience and the faded 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 play a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and you're 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
'Cause when it comes down to the making
You better be damned sure you can take it
