(Tori)
Promise not to say
(Tash)
That you told me so
(Tash)
Promise not to say
(Tori)
That I'm getting too old
(Tash)
Promise not to take
(Tori)
Never take your phone
(Tash)
I mean take their word
(Tori)
You mean over yours?
(Tori)
What I need to know, will you...
(Tash)
Be there, be there, be there?
Be there, be there, be there
(Tori)
Where the sun shines
(Tash)
I will be there
(Tori)
You are the light
(Tash)
That follows you everywhere
(Tori & Tash)
look for my love
(Tash)
Where the sun shines
I will be there
(Tori)
will you?
(Tash)
Promise not to judge
(Tori)
To judge who you love? I don't know if I...
(Tash)
Yes, make that promise
(Tori)
Whatever it is
(Tash)
Can you hear the truth if they accuse me?
(Tori)
You think I'll doubt you?
(Tori)
What I need to know, will you...
(Tash)
Be there, be there, be there?
Be there, be there, be there
(Tori)
Where the sun shines
(Tash)
I will be there
(Tori)
You are the light
(Tash)
That follows you everywhere
(Tori & Tash)
Look for my love
(Tash)
Where the sun shines, I will be there
(Tori)
will you...
(Tash)
Be there, be there, be there?
Be there, be there, be there
(Tash)
When I am all alone
(Tori)
You're not alone
(Tash)
When I am broken down
(Tori)
We all break down
(Tash)
When every door is closed
(Tori)
There is one more
(Tash)
Will you look for me? I will rescue you!
(Tori)
Where the sun shines
(Tash)
I will be there
(Tori)
You are the light
(Tash)
That follows you everywhere
(Tori & Tash)
Look for my love
(Tash)
Where the sun shines
(Tori)
Where the sun shines
(Tash)
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
Be there, be there, be there
