Indigo Girls - Making Promises Lyrics

What am I gonna do with you?
So far away, it makes me blue
I never mind just being alone
but I felt defeated and I let it show
You know I could have ridden the rainbow
And this once I needed you to let me know

[CHORUS:]
I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I'm of two hearts and up all night
I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I'm gonna get it right this time

Who's gonna say you paid your dues
With the strung out soundman
and the promoter dude?
With a pat on the back just a little far down
You cut your teeth on a drinking crowd
Ah never mind you didn't make it
What's the point if you're never gonna shake it?

[CHORUS:]

And when the spring is coming around
And I'm feeling braver I'm gonna lay it down
And when the teenage hoodlums come out
I'm gonna give 'em a smile
And just a little doubt
Ah never mind you didn't make it
What's the point if you're never gonna shake it?

[CHORUS:]
