Promenade Lyrics

There was smoke in the air
When he came around and saw he was really alone
Memories looked like blood in the water
Sweet and ugly pain, just like confetti in the rain
He was known for his bedside manner
He wanted to believe that people only hear what they see
He had a good time being a bad guy
He didn′t want to understand why that old song makes him cry

I remember when it felt like we were walking with God
Little heaven when the sun goes down
Walking hand in hand down on the promenade

He was alone in a dark room overlooking the mall
With a gun in his hand and no one to call
He was waiting for a reason to fade and run
Just like photos in a window that turn blue in the sun
People used to call it a breakdown
Now he medicates to make it go away, yeah, yeah
People used to call it a midlife crisis
He just sits and looks at pictures of himself from way back in the day

Remember when it felt like we were walking with God?
Getting stupid in a stolen car
Making love in a garage behind the promenade

I think I need to slow down
I think I need to slow my roll
I need to put the gun down
I feel so lost, I feel so out of control
I broke myself in pieces to make my name
I broke those people dumb enough to get in my way
Now I look in the mirror and I can't see me
How can you swallow the world and still be hungry?

Remember when it felt like we were walking with God?
Holding hands with my dad and my mom
Walking in the lights to see Santa on the promenade

Remember when it felt like we were walking with God?
Remember when it felt like we were walking with God?
Remember, remember, remember, remember
Remember when it felt like we were walking with God?
Remember when it felt like we were walking with God?
