Keep You Happy
Chasing Happiness Through Changing Miles
Lyrics
The sky is turning and longing for something far away
The sky is changing and yearning for something distant.
The moon's a tear drop, see slowly as it falls away
The moon is depicted as a tear, slowly descending.
Miles running down a face,
Tears are compared to miles running down a face, signifying emotional distance.
Everything's bound to change,
Expressing that everything is destined to undergo change.
It's bound to change
Reiterating the inevitability of change.
Day breaks of tenderness,
Describing the dawn with a sense of delicacy and gentleness.
So hold me here like this,
A plea to be held in a tranquil and steady manner.
So still and quiet as if it might
A desire for stillness and quiet, as if maintaining this state could bring happiness.
Keep you happy
Expressing a hope that the described intimacy will bring joy.
A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay
A feeling is acknowledged but with the awareness that it won't last.
Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they fly away
Sensing the fleeting nature of emotions, particularly heartbeats that symbolize life.
Close gets so far away,
The closeness between individuals becomes distant.
Close gets so far
Highlighting the paradox of closeness feeling distant.
Day breaks of loneliness
Depicting the beginning of the day as a time of solitude.
I'd weather all of this
Expressing a willingness to endure loneliness for the sake of the relationship.
If I could find a place where I'd
If a place could be found where happiness is maintained.
Keep you happy
Reiterating the desire to keep the other person happy.
Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto?
Raising questions about the authenticity of what is held onto in relationships.
See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you, I was just trying to hold you
Reflecting on a personal struggle of trying to hold onto someone.
Night is a gypsy who tells me he will never stay
Night symbolized as a transient force that won't stay.
Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away
Comparing miles to heartbeats, acknowledging their ephemeral nature.
See how they fly away,
Observing the fleeting nature of moments or emotions.
See how they fly
Highlighting the transient quality of experiences, particularly their departure.
