Lyrics[]

 Two hearts that shouldn't
 Talk to each other become close
 In a town much like a prison cell
 
 People speak our names
 On the street in hushed tones
 Oh, the stories they'd tell
 
 If anyone would listen
 If anyone would listen...
 
 You come from a town where
 People don't bother saying "Hello"
 Unless somebody's born or dies
 
 And I come from a place where they
 Drag your hopes through the mud
 Because their own dreams are all dying
 
 And when we walk down the street
 The wind sings our name in rebel songs
 The sounds of the night should make us anxious
 But it's much too late when the fear is gone
 
 I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
 Where we can be together, I promise you
 I will wait 'til then in Heaven, I promise you
 I promise, I promise
 
 There's so many fighting
 To get past the Pearly Gates
 But nobody ever wants to die or get saved
 
 Their intentions aren't that good
 And I can smell the asphalt
 That's their personal road to Hell being paved
 
 And when we walk down the street
 The wind sings our name in rebel songs
 But it's much too late when the fear is gone
 
 I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
 Where we can be together, I promise you
 I will wait 'til then in Heaven, I promise you
 I promise, I promise (X2)
