Lovesick Promises (Remix) (Duet Version)

[Intro] Soft acoustic guitar, distant pedal steel, slow drum swells | 8 bars [Verse 1: Male] Standin on your porch beneath this pale moonlight I practice all the words but they just won’t speak Every time I try, my courage feels weak You say forever sounds like somethin folks make up But my heart’s spillin over in this paper cup Feelings in the space between us drift like haze These lovesick promises hang in my gaze [Pre-Chorus: Male] I could feel braver if you knew Every little fear I hide from you Even when I smile the tremblin remains Lovesick promises run through my veins [Chorus: Both] Lovesick promises hangin in the sky Two hearts waitin but we both stay shy All the words we need just pass us by Lovesick promises keep our love denied I’m reachin through the quiet for your hand Hopin someday you’ll understand These lovesick promises I hold for you Are the only feelings I know are true [Verse 2: Female] Every time you call my name I lose my breath Your shadow on my wall still scares me half to death ‘Cause if I say too much I can’t rewind I’m hidin every truth that’s on my mind They say that chances never knock the same door twice But here we stand just circlin, rollin dice This gentle pull that draws us close won’t let me go Lovesick promises are all I know [Pre-Chorus: Female] I could feel braver by your side If I could let my heart be open wide Even when I laugh the worries remain Lovesick promises hum in my veins [Chorus: Both] Lovesick promises hangin in the sky Two hearts waitin but we both stay shy All the words we need just pass us by Lovesick promises keep our love denied I’m reachin through the quiet for your hand Hopin someday you’ll understand These lovesick promises I hold for you Are the only feelings I know are true [Bridge: Piano, soft acoustic; Male & Female alternating then together] [Male] If I could turn back time I’d speak every truth, every line [Female] But all I have are glances and doubt And lovesick promises I can’t let out [Both] If we could break this spell We’d finally say the words we know so well But ‘til that day our hearts lie low In lovesick promises we never show [Instrumental Break: 16 seconds – tender fiddle and pedal steel] [Final Chorus: Both, close harmonies] Lovesick promises hangin in the sky Two hearts waitin but we both stay shy All the words we need just pass us by Lovesick promises still keep us tied I’m reachin through the quiet for your hand Prayin someday you’ll understand These lovesick promises I share with you Are the only feelings I know are true [Outro: Soft guitar and pedal steel, fading] Lovesick promises… in your eyes tonight… Lovesick promises… might turn to light…
