Keeping Up
Echoes of Lost Connections: Rattleshake's 'Keeping Up' Tale
Lyrics
Tried to have a home I could call my own
Tried to establish a home that I could claim as mine
Tried to get outside of my comfort zone
Attempted to step outside my comfort zone
Only thing I knew was her and me
The only familiar thing was the relationship between her and me
Sadly that was the last of her I'd see
Unfortunately, that marked the end of my connection with her
Tried to stay in touch
Struggled to maintain communication
Got used to keeping up
Adapted to the routine of staying updated or connected
Don't say as much
Didn't express emotions verbally as much
Got used to keeping up
Adapted to the habit of keeping in touch
Used to call a lot but it wasn't enough
Used to make frequent calls, but it wasn't sufficient
Leaving messages was very tough
Leaving voicemail messages was a challenging task
They all sounded the same, nothing new
All messages sounded repetitive, lacking novelty
I always wished the same but nothing from you
Desired consistency, but received nothing from the other person
Tried to stay in touch
Continued efforts to stay connected
Got used to keeping up
Became accustomed to the routine of keeping up
Don't say as much
Verbal communication reduced
Got used to keeping up
Established a habit of maintaining connections
Saw you at the park, it wasn't bad
Encountered the person at the park, the experience wasn't negative
You had your new fling, you weren't sad
Observed the person with a new romantic interest, not displaying sadness
Not a day goes by where I feel down
Experience sadness daily, contrasting with the apparent happiness of the other person
But I see you're glad you're not around
Realized the other person is content with the absence of our connection
Tried to stay in touch
Continued attempts to stay in touch
Got used to keeping up
Adapted to the practice of keeping updated or connected
Don't say as much
Verbal expression reduced
Got used to keeping up
Established a routine of maintaining connections
