The Promise (When In Rome cover) Lyrics

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 plan them to be
But if you wait around awhile I'll make you fall for me
I promise you, 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
That'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 know they don't sound the way I plan them to be
But if you wait around awhile 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 plan them to be
But if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

Gotta tell ya
Need to tell ya
Want to 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 plan them to be
But if you wait around awhile 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 plan them to be
But if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

I will
I will

Ah Yes.. When In Rome - The Promise. Such an amazing song. Bob and the boys do it so well. Many people were upset when they covered a couple Smith tracks durning the days of braid. But I still think they kicked some major ass! Whatever they touch..turns to gold.

Braid's Smith covers were amazing... those songs were made for melodic post-punk...This Charming Man & There is a Light that Never Goes Out are actually two of my fav. Braid songs, despite being covers. Oh, and this one kicks ass, too.
