I keep her Lyrics by Leah Capelle

triptych

2020

If I take it for what it's worth
I take too much and leave nothing for her
And I don't know why I do it
And I don't know how to stop
When every move is automatic
And I always fuck it up...

So I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More more more

I'm a wall, thick as concrete
When I shut right down and forget how to breathe
And I don't know why I do it
And I don't know how to stop
When every time she brings her hatchet
I hang it right back up

And I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More than nothing, less than something
More more more

Always wanting, what I can't have
She's got a boyfriend, with all these plans
And I want to tell her how sure I am...
But I can't...

So I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean
Oh I keep her at a distance, I keep her as a dream
At least this way I'm consistent, and I don't have to come clean

But then she leads to me to the doorway, as the bar is shutting down
And pulls the hair back from my temple, as she spins herself around
And says "I know you've been keeping this in a hole in the ground...

But I'm feeling what you're feeling, baby, how does that sound?"

And as she kissed me, I can taste the whiskey sweet on her mouth
If only just for now...
If only just for now
