Promise
Chasing Promises: Escaping Yesterday's Shadow
Lyrics
You say we can run away
You express the possibility of escaping
From yesterday
Escape from the past
From yesterday
Reiteration of the desire to escape from the past
You say we can run away
Reaffirmation of the potential to run away from the past
From yesterday
Escape from the past
Yesterday
Reflection on a time that has passed (yesterday)
Not much longer to wait
Implying that the waiting period is nearly over
I see the destination
Visualizing the endpoint or goal
It goes so fast
Time seems to move swiftly
Years have passed
Many years have gone by
And I wonder did you keep your promise?
Questioning if a promise was upheld
I've gotta be honest
Stating the need for honesty
I doubted you for a while
Admitting to having doubts about someone
But then I smile
But then finding a reason to smile
I see you there
Observing the presence of the person in a specific atmosphere
In the summer air
Recalling a promise made during summer
Just like we promised
Revisiting a promise made years ago
Years ago
Reflecting on a time from the past when young
When we were young
Recollection of singing a particular song when young
We sang this song
Indicating disparity between the individuals involved
Only one of us behind
Coming together as one entity now
But now we're one
Reiteration of the possibility of escaping the past
You say we can run away
Expressing the option to flee from the past
From yesterday
Reiteration of the desire to escape from the past
From yesterday
Reiteration of reflecting on a time that has passed (yesterday)
We can
Confirmation of the potential to run away from the past
You say we can run away
Reaffirmation of the possibility to escape
From yesterday
Escape from the past
Yesterday
Reflection on a time that has passed (yesterday)
We can
Confirmation of the potential to run away from the past
I gave it a fair shot
Indicating giving something a fair chance
Now it's about to pay off
Implying imminent success or reward
It's about to pay off
Reiteration of imminent success or reward
It's about to pay off
