Keep Me
Capturing Love's Essence: John Ralston's 'Keep Me' Unveiled
Lyrics
I don't want to be in your service.
The speaker doesn't want to be at someone's beck and call or under their command.
I just want to make your short list.
Desires to be considered among the top priorities or choices of the person.
I don't want to wear all your armor.
Doesn't want to bear the burdens or responsibilities associated with protection or defense.
I just want to be in your chest.
Wishes to be close to the person emotionally, seeking intimacy and comfort.
Always keep me in your heart.
Requesting to always be remembered and cherished emotionally.
I don't want to take you for granted.
Expressing a desire to never take the person for granted.
I don't want to pay all your debt.
Not interested in shouldering the entirety of the person's financial burdens.
I don't want to be your light shining.
Doesn't want to be the sole source of happiness or guidance in the person's life.
I just want to be in your eyes.
Desires to be seen and valued by the person.
Always keep me in your sight.
Asks to always be recognized and acknowledged.
I don't want to be your perfect summer.
Rejecting the idea of being the person's only source of joy during positive times.
I want to be there when the winter's in sight.
Wants to be there for support during difficult or challenging times.
I just want to be the record you play
Wants to be a comforting presence, especially at the end of the day.
When you come home to sleep at night.
Desires to be part of the person's nighttime routine, providing solace.
I don't want to be your ambulance.
Doesn't want to be relied upon in times of emergency or crisis.
I don't want to be your twisting vine.
Doesn't want to be entangled or overly dependent on the person.
I don't want to take out your stitches,
Doesn't wish to be involved in fixing problems directly but desires to offer emotional support.
But I'll whisper to you all night.
Willingness to provide comfort and reassurance through communication.
Always.
Requesting to always be present or remembered.
