Keep on Going
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Keep On Going by The Toasters
Lyrics
What would you say
Questioning what the listener would say.
If I told you, I'm gonna take it all away, yeh
Expressing intention to take something away, seeking a reaction.
What would you do
Asking how the listener would react to the situation.
Would you tell me, tell me that it's not true
Wondering if the listener would deny the situation.
What should I think
Questioning what one should think about a girl seen through a drink.
About a girl I keep seeing through the bottom of my drink
Reflecting on seeing a girl through the bottom of a drink.
How would you feel
Asking how the listener would emotionally respond.
Would you cry, would you lie, would you tell me that it's not real
Exploring possible emotional reactions, like crying or denial.
Would you keep on going
Encouraging perseverance despite challenges.
Keep on going
Repeating the encouragement to keep going.
Now it's coming down to this, yea
Describing a critical moment or decision.
Misses of your kiss
Referring to the absence of a kiss.
What should I say, yea yea
Asking what to say about not seeing someone for a week and a day.
To a girl I haven't seen for a week and a day
Reflecting on the absence of a person for a specific period.
And don't you tell me that I'm biting
Addressing potential criticism or accusations.
When you know I'm only fighting
Asserting that there is a struggle, not aggression.
There's something that I think is real
Believing in the reality of a situation or feeling.
Tell me tell me how should I feel
Asking for guidance on how to feel about a perceived reality.
Would you keep on going
Reiterating the call to persevere despite challenges.
Keep on going
