The Promise
Anberlin
Lost Songs (2007)

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 know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you 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 know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you 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 know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

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

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I have to walk the world to make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
