Keep You at Bay
Lyrics about fraught friendship
Another story, here I go again. Thought that it was something, but it was anything else instead.
Because…
I ke-ept… running to the post office, before it locked. I ke-ept… searching for your letters in my mailbox.
How could I have thought your stamp was like the King’s seal? Weren’t you the one who said you’d keep it real?
But no longer can I know where you’re coming from. No longer can you be a friend to keep me strong.
You thought I’d be the one to fade away. But I’m still here - I’m still here - and I’ll keep you at bay!
So here we are, sitting face to face - but through a slab of glass that won’t ever be replaced.
Where do we go? Where do we go from here? I can’t go on like we’re in the clear.
Don’t you know…
I ke-ept… running to the post office, before it locked. I ke-ept… searching for your letters in my mailbox.
How could I have thought your stamp was like the King’s seal? Weren’t you the one who said you’d keep it real?
But no longer can I know where you’re coming from. No longer can you be a friend to keep me strong.
You thought I’d be the one to fade away. But I’m still here - I’m still here - and I’ll keep you at bay!
