Catch the Promise

[Verse 1] At the edge of the dusty field I’m tying my laces tight Uniform stained with yesterday Glove worn thin by every fight Sweat is blurring out the sky Rub my eyes and breathe it in All the words I almost said Lock them quiet deep within [Pre-Chorus] On the days my throw goes wild On the days your hands feel weak Even then I keep my gaze Call your name instead of speak [Chorus] Catch the ball With the dust upon our hands With the tears we never planned In our palms there’s burning All the vows we swore Once again Catch the ball Every time the sweat will shine We will hold our fragile side One by one we send them Till they all break through Here and now I will throw this straight to you [Verse 2] Sitting silent on the bench You don’t have to say a word On your back I see it clear Every reason to be heard All the bruises on your knees Sunburn on your glowing face More than any easy smile That fierce light is hard to replace [Pre-Chorus] Taking long way ‘round is fine Through the nights that nearly break With the last voice I have left I will call your name awake [Chorus] Catch the ball With the dust upon our hands With the tears we never planned In our palms there’s burning All the vows we swore Once again Catch the ball Every time the sweat will shine We will hold our fragile side One by one we send them Till they all break through Here and now I will throw it to the sky [Bridge] Let the sudden storm of regret Pour and wash across this ground Till the day we finally find Words to say we’re not alone [Chorus] Catch the ball With the dust upon our hands With the tears we never planned In our palms there’s burning All the vows we swore Once again Catch the ball Every time the sweat will shine We will hold our fragile side One by one we send them Till they all break through Here and now I will throw it to our dreams
