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)

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 yaaaa …

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

Ini dia salah satu lagu Anberlin yang selalu bisa bikin geter-geter. Lagu ini cover dari When In Rome. Ini salah satu lagu yang-kalau kata Rolling Stone sih-“lagu yang punya sense”. That one song that you will never get bored. Dan lagu ini, untuk dirinya, yang saat saya pertama kali bertemu dengannya saya menjadi kaku, gak bisa ngomong dengan lancar, dan deg degan :

“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)”
