Anberlin - The Promise lyrics

If you need a friend,

don't look to a stranger,

You know in the end,

I'll always be there.

And when you're in doubt,

and when you're in danger,

Take a look all around,

and I'll be there.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)

But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,

I promise, I promise you I will.

When your day is through,

and so is your temper,

You know what to do,

I'm gonna always be there.

Sometimes if I shout,

it's not what's intended.

These words just come out,

with no gripe to bear.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)

But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,

I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)

And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,

I promise, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)

But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,

I promise, I promise you...

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)

And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,

I promise, I promise you I will ...

I will...

I will...

I will
