I think I went to the Astral Plane when I was dreaming once, and I met a girl and a boy there who were about my age (about 11). I saved the girl with help from the boy and the last time I ever saw them was when I jumped over a fence. The girl warned me, "No, it's against the rules." I said we didn't have time and we needed to escape. When I jumped over the fence, I woke up. I never found out if they made it out okay. I think I saw them last November, 2002. We were all in a garden, but they were moving around in a daze. They looked like an older version of my friends, about 16 or 17, my age. I've been trying to get to that magical land ever since so I could find them again, but no such luck.
This song says three things. The first is the most obvious: I promise I won't ever forget you, even if I get old and grey and all I have left are my memories, I'll still always be there looking for you, and I hope you'll remember me, too.
The second is my frustration: I feel used because after we saved each other you never tried to contact me again, you left me, you got to stay in the magical land but I had to go home, you got to return to your life thanks to me, but I have to go back to reality.
And the third is a sort of pleading: I promise I'll do whatever you want me to do, I promise I'll keep whatever secret you want, just please let me return.
I Promise
I promise to stay with you
I promise to do the things you do
I promise to be with you
And follow the path you choose
And when everything is said and done
Return to the one you love
And when everything is lost and gone
You'll be going back to home
And I promise to stay with you
And follow the path you choose
Just don't make me lose
The last trace I hold on to
I promise not to tell a soul
But you know me all too well
And remember way back when
I was your little heroine
And after all the things I've done
I doubt you'll even remember one
And I promise to stay with you
I promise to do the things you do
I promise to be with you
And follow the path you choose
When push comes to shove
And I've lost the ones I love
I'll still be waiting there for you
Ready to do what I got to do
And after everyday
Will you still remember me?
I'll still remember you
And remember what we used to do
And after everyday
I'll still come back to where we used to play
No matter what I do
I still keep coming back to you
And I promise to stay with you
To remember the things we used to do
And I promise to be with you
And do whatever I need to do
To follow the path you choose
And I promise to remember you.
