What are we here for? Do you know what comes next? Or how long you've been waiting to find something just like this? Are you sorry? Do you mean what you say when you kiss my mouth? Are we empty? Am I missing the signs as you're fading out? But you can't love me with eyes set on the door Are you listening? Are you listening? CHORUS Are you sure that you know what you need? Are you sure you can promise? 'Cause I can't stand to say goodbye again Are you sure that you need this enough? Are you sure you can promise? 'Cause I can't stand to say goodbye again How long should I stand this? Do you care how I feel? Is it worthless to keep trying to hard just to make this real? If you say it, if it's yours I'll believe all your countless lies Am I wrong to keep on racing the time 'til I know what's mine? But you can't love me with eyes set on the door Are you listening? Are you listening? You can't keep me always wanting more Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you sure that you know what you need? Are you sure you can promise? 'Cause I can't stand to say goodbye again Are you sure that you need this enough? Are you sure you can promise? 'Cause I can't stand to say goodbye again Am I meant to be more than just a memory? 'Cause I wanna meet each moment as it greets you sweetly Come to me, come to me Come to me, come to me Are you sure that you know what you need? Are you sure you can promise? 'Cause I can't stand to say goodbye again Are you sure that you need this enough? Are you sure you can promise? 'Cause I can't stand to say goodbye again

Stay in my sight I wanna watch you watch the sunrise We have our days Some skies are bright and some lack the light You said you'd never tire of me [Chorus:] Tell me what to do I won't dare to know until you say so Don't dance around the truth I don't wanna know the dark without you I don't wanna know the dark without you I kissed your back And I keep your shape safe in my memory I cover your tracks Just to pretend you'd care to keep me You said you'd never tire of me Are you sure, dear? I'm not ready Make me a prize in nobody's eyes but yours Keep screaming in my head Keep screaming in my head

Grand Ideas 03:41
Oh, the places that I go To find you sleeping underneath these grand ideas that you've been faking Oh, the things that you can't see The way you step between the parts of me you find may be worth keeping So let me know So let me know 'Cause you've been trying To keep us on the ground Don't you know a solider can't be figured out? Let's watch the sky come crashing down now Oh, the words that you won't say They keep me company They laugh with me as you whisper, "We'll be fine here" We'll be fine here So let me know 'Cause you've been trying To keep us on the ground Don't you know a soldier can't be figured out? We're marching towards a fight if just to hear the sound And should we fall they'll watch the sky come crashing down Oh, the song that's in my head The way you sing it to me Don't you breathe until I say you're finished Oh, you've brought me to my knees The way you sing it to me Don't you breathe

Resolve 03:43
Wait, I know I'll be okay I know you'll hear my name Dig your graves A trial of bones and dust is enough to make you shudder And rip through seams that tie us to each other And if nothing else the dirt on your hands Can be our story The one that you can almost believe [Chorus:] Wait, I know I'll be okay I know you'll hear my name And feel it crawling back inside Like fire that burns you inside through I know you feel it I know exactly what you are Break him down He'll give you what you need He'll stifle what you've suffered But you won't see the things he's left with me The things that you would kill to know I hope that one day he can see Exactly what you are Desperate and diseased Exactly as you are, hopeless I know exactly what you are, damaged We know exactly what you are
6.
What if everything we whispered had to be true? What if your pillow was a polygraph and the moon a judge? I never meant to give so much And you never meant to break CHORUS I carried you through cities, towns you'll never know I wear you on my tongue I feel you all around me Sing for heavy hearts undevoted Oh, my love, don't leave us now Oh, my love, don't leave me now You never meant to build our future But I saw the skyline I never meant to give so much And you never meant to stay I never meant to give so much And you never meant to stay Oh, my love, I'm sorry we lost things we promised to keep You know what you're leaving You know where I'll be I never meant to give so much I never meant to give so much I never meant to give so much And you never meant to break We smashed the city under our feet Lose the ground if you feel me I flooded the oceans the moment you left I thought I had nothing But you had much less Lose the ground if you feel me I swear...

"What do the words 'breathtaking,' 'stirring,' 'wild,' and 'powerful' have in common? They all perfectly describe the music on Rescue Aurora's Things We Promised to Keep. The EP is overflowing with so much energy and enthusiasm that it's impossible not to fall in love with this band. Every song is worth being heard. Through the ups and downs, from the powerfully energetic to the quiet and soulful, Rescue Aurora can do it all." - Side-line

"Things has a beautiful synthesis of aggression and intimacy that sets Rescue Aurora apart from other bands in their genre." - Shred News

"There is a pervading confidence in Things...Guitars jangle, reverberate, and roar, the drums are tight, and the bass is solid. Dual guitar lines appear everywhere, weaving through a haze of distortion, and the vocal harmonies are intricate." - Weekly Dig, Boston

"Things is a unique mix of indie-rock and singer-songwriter. Lead singer Flynn's voice is elegant, yet full of of energy and passion. The only bad thing about this album is that it is not a full length." - Scene Trash
