Jughead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's my friend, she's my wife
But she lives away from me
She needs to feel that she is free
And even though, it's all I've got
With her I don't need much
To know I've got a lot
She's a dove caught in flight
Without a landing place in sight
But if I know her like I think
She'll find a place before she sinks
She's off alone, on her own
Leaving me to sit beside the telephone
Cast away loose the knot
She's getting sun on the spot
Where her ring used to be
Before feelings were stronger than our promise
Yesterday we walked hand in hand
You were with me, you were my own
You were my girl, you were the lover of my life
She's the girl that I love
She's the one that I think of
I have to hold on to the hope
That I did not miss the boat
So life goes on day by day
All that's left for me is hit my knees and pray
Cast away loose the knot
I'm getting sun on the spot
Where my ring used to be
Now it feels so empty
So I put it back, I had to live
And I hope you can forgive
That I've tried to forget
That my feelings were stronger than a promise
And I promise to be stronger than
the memory of our past
The song "Promise" by Jughead is a heartfelt ballad about a man's love for a woman who is his friend and wife, but she lives far away from him and needs to feel free. The song highlights the complexities of love and commitment, as the singer struggles with the fact that his feelings for his partner are stronger than their promise to each other. In the beginning verse, the man speaks of his love for her despite not needing much but her presence in his life. He likens her to a dove caught in flight without a landing place in sight. However, he believes in her ability to find a place before she sinks and leaves alone, leaving him to sit by the telephone.
The second verse speaks of the singer's efforts to move on from their promise after removing his ring, but he still feels empty without her. He puts it back on and hopes that she can forgive him for trying to forget their past. He promises to be stronger than his memories of the past as life goes on day by day. The song's overall message is about the struggle to hold on to love in difficult circumstances, even when promises may not be enough.

She's a girl in my life
There is a girl important to me
She's my friend, she's my wife
She is both a friend and wife figure to me
But she lives away from me
Unfortunately, she lives far away from me
She needs to feel that she is free
It is important to her to have autonomy
And even though, it's all I've got
Despite all the challenges, she is my focus
With her I don't need much
Being with her is enough for me
To know I've got a lot
She is fulfilling to have in my life
She's a dove caught in flight
She seems lost and directionless
Without a landing place in sight
She does not know where she is headed
But if I know her like I think
I usually understand her actions
She'll find a place before she sinks
She will find her path before it is too late
She's off alone, on her own
She is navigating life solo
Leaving me to sit beside the telephone
I often wait for her call
Cast away loose the knot
I need to let go of my worries
She's getting sun on the spot
She is living her own life
Where her ring used to be
She may be feeling free without the commitment of a marriage
Before feelings were stronger than our promise
We had a promise, but our feelings got in the way
Yesterday we walked hand in hand
Our relationship was good before
You were with me, you were my own
She was devoted to me once
You were my girl, you were the lover of my life
She has been my true love
She's the girl that I love
I am still in love with her
She's the one that I think of
She is always on my mind
I have to hold on to the hope
I must have faith in our future
That I did not miss the boat
I hope I did not lose my chance with her
So life goes on day by day
Time keeps moving forward
All that's left for me is hit my knees and pray
All I can do is pray for guidance
Now it feels so empty
Without her, my life is less fulfilling
So I put it back, I had to live
I put my wedding ring back on
And I hope you can forgive
I hope she can forgive me
That I've tried to forget
I have tried to move on
That my feelings were stronger than a promise
My feelings got in the way of our commitment
And I promise to be stronger than that
I vow to overcome my feelings and prioritize our promise

This album came out in 2002. In a recent interview, Ty said they are looking to re-release this album. There was some issue with the name which kind of limited the sales. They want to release it under a different name because it's a fantastic album and more people need to hear it!

LOVE this.
