This can't really be what life is all about Learning how to live just to live without The travesty's the irony and the irony is you I've traded in my sanctity for a cheaper shade of blue And as I surrender to this sunken bed So afflicted by the tenant in my head Even now I wonder how you lay her down to sleep When secretly I know it's my soul that you pray to keep But will you really keep me Chorus: (Keep me) On your porch, on your tongue Beating in your chest, or coming undone Folded neatly in the cover of your favorite book (Keep me) At a distance, in your maze Fumbling through a contemplative haze (keep me) Or tucked away clandestinely where no one else will look Where my broken sky reaches to your velvet sea Will you keep me, will you keep me Drowning in the bottom of this empty glass I pray God is good and that this too shall pass Then from the abyss maybe I'll find a sweet reprieve When the echo of your kiss reminds me to believe SongtexteThat you'll always keep me Chorus: (Keep me) Under god, or on your wall Behind closed doors forever after all Or headed south on the blacktop ribbon we designed (Keep me) The mantle of integrity, investing in Something I'll never see (keep me) At 30,000 feet or in the windows of your mind In a corner of your heart under lock and key Will you keep me, will you keep me Bridge: Traipsing on hallowed ground Has brought a lifelong sentence Now living without your breath to fill My lungs will be my penance And even as I feel I hope you feel it just as deeply And even though you've let me go, say you'll always keep me Say you'll always keep me ½ Chorus: The melody you misconstrue On the ocean crashing into you Or waiting for the man you'll never Have the heart to be In the fervent strains of the tragic elegy Will you keep me Will you keep me Will you keep me Aus Songtexte Mania
