The Promise Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who is it? You again? Thought you left
But you never go too far
Remember when we overslept
That morning when our thing fell apart?

[Pre-Chorus]
But I never learn, I always lust, and over-trust
I do it to myself
But I can't be buryin' these feelings
When it's the best thing that I ever felt

[Chorus]
You got my promise again
You had me pinin' when you left
Knowin' it's been ages, I'm takin' it in
Thought I was fine, ooh
Need to leave you behind

[Verse 2]
Maybe by September, I
Would have tried enough of othеr stuff
To know that you weren't right
But we nеver learn, we always lust, and over-trust
It happens overnight

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna be your enemy or something you need
To pass the time
So, excuse me if this comes as greed
But sometimes I just wanna go back and rewind

[Chorus]
You got my promise again
You had me pinin' when you left
Knowin' it's been ages, I'm takin' it in
Thought I'd be fine, ooh
Need to leave you behind
Need to leave you behind

[Outro]
It's been a long time, same decisions I make
Slowly lead me back to you
I'm in the open, lose all sense of knowin'
Are you onto someone new? Yeah
It's been a burden, but the burden, I'll take
For a day or two, yeah
It leaves me longin' for a certain moment
I hear a familiar tune

What did Celeste say about "The Promise"?

When I heard the chords to this song, I felt like they were going round in a circle. Straight away, it made me think of those people you always go back to. And it reminded me of that moment where it’s 7 AM at a house party, and you and that other person are both hanging on for dear life because you...

What have the artists said about the song?

This is a song about a person that’s familiar and comfortable and for that reason you always find yourself going back there. I added the sound of the birds at the beginning and end of the song and wanted to the song to start and end in the exact same way in the chord progression to mimic that cycle...
