Keep Me
Yearning for Home: Live Foyn Friis Sings of Love Across Continents
Lyrics
I go a round the world in circles
The speaker feels stuck in repetitive cycles, going around in circles without making progress.
I travel far and shore and all the time
They've traveled extensively but haven't found fulfillment or peace.
I’ve lost lovers for the others
They've lost relationships for other pursuits, possibly indicating a sacrifice for personal ambitions.
And I am stretching my heart far
Expresses a longing for connection while feeling emotionally stretched or distant.
Need someone to keep me, keep me wanna be there
The desire for someone to keep them grounded and present, wanting to be with that person.
Need someone to keep me, someone who needs me there
Expresses a reciprocal need for someone who also desires their presence.
I know honey if you hear this
A message directed to a specific person, hoping they'll understand the speaker's feelings.
Maybe, maybe you’ll be glad
Hoping the listener will find some happiness in the speaker's exhaustion from constant travel.
That I am tired of running around the world
The speaker is fatigued from constant movement and yearns for home.
Tired of flying around the world
-Tired of running around the world
-I wanna go home
-Need someone to keep me, keep me wanna be there
Repeated desire for someone to keep them anchored and wanted at home.
Need someone to keep me, someone who needs me there
-Need someone to keep me, keep me wanna be there
-Need someone to keep me, someone who needs me there
-I travelled around the world in a rush of something
They traveled impulsively without understanding their purpose until finding solace in someone's embrace.
And I didn’t know what it was until I laid in your arms
The warmth and affection received from this person made the speaker realize what they were missing.
Your smile is warm your cheek is soft and loving
Describes the physical sensations and emotions felt while being with the person.
And I’m just like a, again like a little child
Comparing their feelings to those of a child, possibly indicating vulnerability or innocence in love.
You write me all the time sweet messages
The person communicates affection and longing for the speaker, fostering a desire to stay.
Of how you miss me, how you wanna kiss me, I
-I am just traveling the world
Despite the emotional connection, the speaker is still traveling, fearing it might distance them from their loved one.
I’m scared it will drag me away from you
Fear of being pulled away from the person they desire due to ongoing travel.
I need someone to keep me, need someone to keep me wanna stay home
Repeatedly expressing the need for someone to make them want to stay home and return to them.
I need someone to keep me, need someone who makes me wanna come home
-I need someone to keep me, need someone to keep me wanna stay home
-I need someone to keep me, need someone who makes me wanna come home
