The Promise

(album: Johnson & McAuley - 2016)

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 you)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be (I promise you)
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me (I promise you)
I promise, I promise you I will

When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do, gonna always be there

Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out, with no cross to bear

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

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

I gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I've gotta tell you

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

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