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
When you're in danger
Take a look all around
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 whats intended
These words just come out
With no gripe till death
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 have to walk the world, I'll make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you I will
(Gonna tell ya) [x3]
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
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, I'll make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you I will
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there
And when you're in doubt
When you're in danger
Take a look all around
I'll be there
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
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not whats intended
These words just come out
With no gripe till death
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 know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I have to walk the world, I'll make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you I will
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
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I have to walk the world, I'll make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you I will

Great song. Although, I couldn't interpret what those lyrics were (see question marks)
This song makes itself obvious in most parts - some guy/girl who considers a friend close. Basically, they want that particular friend to notice that they're there for them. At the same time, the guy/girl is in love with that close friend. "But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me".
isn't this a cover? i don't know the original artist but yeah. and i think he says "with no gripe to them" :)
yeah, its a cover of "I promise you I will" by Depeche Mode. Great song, anberlin did an amazing job.
Correction -
This is a cover of "The Promise" by an 80s band from Manchester, England called "When in Rome"
If you go here you can listen to a clip of the original.

i do believe this song was featured in napleon dynamite also
"And if i had to walk the world, i'll make you fall for me" are the correct lyrics to the last few chorus's of the song.
Yes, and Kudos to penguin92, that song was featured in 2006's Napolean Dynamite and is indeed a cover of "When In Rome's" song.
This song reminds me of Blue October. I actually thought that it was for a little bit. I really like it. :D
I think the message is pretty self-explanatory. He wants her to love him, and he'll do whatever it takes, although he knows he has shortcomings. I love it.
i dont care who 1st did this song, but they deserve a lot of credit. i love this song.
I listened to the When In Rome version,and I didn't think it was near as good as Anberlin's remake.
