Promise Me
Francis Goya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You light up another cigarette
And I pour the wine
It's four o'clock in the morning
And it's starting to get light
Now I'm right where I want to be
Losing track of time
But I wish that it was still last night
But I can read your mind
How can you be so far away
Lying by my side
When I go away I'll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon
When I go away I'll miss you
And I will be thinking of you
Every night and day just
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
And I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon

Promise me
Please make a commitment to me
You light up another cigarette
You are engaging in a habitual activity
And I pour the wine
I am indulging in an alcoholic drink
It's four o'clock in the morning
It is extremely late at night
And it's starting to get light
The sun is beginning to rise
Now I'm right where I want to be
I am happy with my current situation
Losing track of time
I am not aware of the passage of time
But I wish that it was still last night
I want to hold onto the happiness of yesterday
You look like you're in another world
You seem lost in thought
But I can read your mind
I understand what you are thinking
How can you be so far away
I feel disconnected from you
Lying by my side
You are physically close to me
When I go away I'll miss you
I will feel your absence when I leave
And I will be thinking of you
You will be on my mind
Promise me you'll wait for me
Please make a commitment to wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
I will not give my love to anyone else
And I will be home soon
I will return home shortly
I need to know you feel the same way too
I want to be sure you have the same feelings for me
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon
I will be back home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
Please make a commitment to wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
I will not give my love to anyone else
I need to know you feel the same way too
I want to be sure you have the same feelings for me
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon
I will be back home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
Please make a commitment to wait for me
'Cause I'll be saving all my love for you
I will not give my love to anyone else
And I will be home soon
I will return home shortly
Promise me you'll wait for me
Please make a commitment to wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
I want to be sure you have the same feelings for me
And I'll be home, I'll be home soon
I will be back home soon
