Threats & Promises Lyrics

Hardly remember how it started
Could've only been on an innocent night
I was wallowing down in the gutter
Then I saw you dancing in the smoky light of that downtown bar
And somewhere along the line we tangled
Got all caught up in that affair
We were living in a world far away from here
One that only we could share
Trying hard not to care
Now I don't miss you at all
Though you're sometimes on my mind
In the morning when my eyes are closed
Before I let the sun shine

So I'll just walk these streets to pass my days
Answer only to myself
Knew my best not to hurt nobody
Keep those thoughts of you on the bottom shelf in the back of my mind
Now I don't miss you at all
Though you're sometimes on my mind
In the morning when I'm sober
Before I reach for my wine

It could never get better than that
One time late night moment of bliss
Well it could never get worse than those
Empty threats and promises

Hardly remember how it started
Could've only been on an innocent night
I was wallowing down in the gutter
When I saw you dancing in the smoky light of that downtown bar.

You Came Along

Tonight the Guys Are Coming Over

Ordinary Day

What Sandra Said

Leave This Town

It could never get better than that
One time late night moment of bliss
Well it could never get worse than those
Empty threats and promises

Hardly remember how it started
Could've only been on an innocent night
I was wallowing down in the gutter
When I saw you dancing in the smoky light of that downtown bar.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
