Keeper Songtext
von Skye Wallace

I woke up singing a song with your name in it
Set to the beat of a train
Where I sat in the aisle seat
My limbs and extremities begging to touch you again
While the sky grew lighter
The morning sun spread ′cross the wide open fields like a stain
I never thought of myself as a keeper
But I'd like you to keep me in place

Out the window, the trees are brittle and grey
As I hurtle toward Montréal
The sickness we live in, it itches and gripes
And it permeates through it all
But I throw all affairs of the world out this window
And run to you when you call
I think you can keep me if anyone can
If I can be kept at all


Well, you came out of nowhere
Like an unbelievable cliché rendition of fate
I′m sadder than you are, I've made more mistakes
And my heart cannot take the world's weight
But when I′m in your arms, time stands still
And this whole fucking world can just wait
I never thought of myself as a keeper
But I′d do anything to keep you safe

Out my Toront window, the day's lights changed
Into shadows that crumple and creep
My body at once feels healthy and raw
As it ebbs between waking and sleep
The distance between us was bigger than love
And it′s bigger than tears that we weep
I loved you in all of the ways I know how
Though I cannot be yours to keep

Loved you in all of the ways I know how
Though I cannot be yours to keep
