I Will Be Back (Live) is a spare, unflinching song about the weight of a promise made at a doorway. Recorded live, it captures the tension between the word given and the road that tests it — boot laces, downed signals, washed-out roads, and someone still waiting. It's a quiet endurance song that earns every repeat of its chorus.

Lyrics
You asked what time. I gave you one. I'll be back. I promise. Keep my place. I'm not done. I'll be back. I promise. You have my word. You have my word. Hold the tether. Let it run. Keep my place. I'm not done. Back. I'll be back. Word given. Word kept. Back. I'll be back. Not home yet. Boots by the door. Laces pulled. Pack feels light. Room feels full. Nobody asks. Everybody checks. One last look At what I've left. You catch my sleeve. I stop mid step. Same four words. Same held breath. I'll be back. I promise. No crossed fingers. No knock on wood. Look me dead on. I said I would. I'll be back. I promise. Keep my place. I'm not done. I'll be back. I promise. You have my word. You have my word. Hold the tether. Let it run. Keep my place. I'm not done. Back. I'll be back. Word given. Word kept. You have my word. Signal dies. Screen goes black. Last thing sent. I'll be back. Road washed out. Way ahead shut. Find another. Keep that word. Knee gives once. Palm hits dirt. Up comes breath. Then comes hurt. Count the steps. Lose the count. Someone waiting. That still counts. I'll be back. I promise. Said it easy. Carry it hard. Every mile Knows where you are. I'll be back. I promise. Keep my place. I'm not done. I'll be back. I promise. You have my word. You have my word. Hold the tether. Let it run. Keep my place. I'm not done. You didn't ask If I was sure. You asked what time. I gave you one. Now that hour Has come and gone. I keep reaching For a signal. You promised. I know. I'll be back. I promise. Keep my place. I'm not done. I'll be back. I promise. You have my word. You have my word. Hold the tether. Let it run. Keep my place. I'm not done. One bar. Message sent. Running late. I meant What I said. I'll be back.
