The Promise
The golden boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 yaa
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
