In "Another Promise," Wavvez captures the restless loop of avoiding responsibility and intimacy. The repeated Friday night scene, with its unkept promise at closing time, shows a pattern of letting people down while feeling trapped somewhere he shouldn't be. The image of having his head in the clouds but no feet on the ground explains the constant running around, a flight from consequences that leaves him sleepless and apologizing for lies that aren't even his. The song lands on the exhaustion of wanting to escape a cycle he keeps choosing.
Another Promise Lyrics by Wavves
Cigarette
Another spark to fly
Stop complaining to me
An empty glass
Another scar to hide
This isn’t where I should be
Look around, look around, look around
Another Friday night
Another promise that I didn’t keep around closing time
Morning rain
I didn’t sleep again
What’s the matter with me?
It’s all the same
I’ll call you back in ten
I got somewhere I should be
Look around, look around, look around
Another Friday night
Another promise that I didn’t keep around closing time
I got my head in the clouds
Don’t got my feet on the ground
I don’t know why but I keep running ’round
I just keep running ’round
I’m on the line
I’m busy wasting time
Why’d you keep calling me?
Apologized
For someone else’s lies
You want me down on my knees
Look around, look around, look around
Another Friday night
Another promise that I didn’t keep around closing time
I got my head in the clouds
Don’t got my feet on the ground
I don’t know why but I keep running ’round
I just keep running ’round
I got my head in the clouds
Don’t got my feet on the ground
I don’t know why but I keep running ’round
I just keep running ’round
I got my head in the clouds
Don’t got my feet on the ground
I don’t know why but I keep running ’round
I just keep running ’round
