You Kept Me
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Yearning and Redemption
Lyrics
Did you read my mind when you told me I was leavin'
Expressing doubt about the accuracy of being predicted or understood when told about leaving.
I'm afraid you're right, should have felt the sever
Admitting the accuracy of the prediction and acknowledging the emotional impact of the separation.
Missed every sign, struck a match to all you're letters
Regretting missing warning signs, metaphorically burning bridges by destroying letters.
I wanted to prove my head was clear
Expressing a desire to prove mental clarity or sobriety.
This ain't my first try to go and look for better weather
Acknowledging previous attempts to find better conditions or situations.
Though I sleep outside where the frost bites my shirt
Describing difficult conditions endured, possibly to seek a better life.
So speak to me before I go for good, but please don't take your time
Pleading for communication before departing permanently, emphasizing the urgency.
You can go your day might come
Implying a potential separation and suggesting the inevitability of moving on.
Where you're shining tandem 'side the sun
Envisioning a future where the person being addressed achieves greatness.
And you can stay up all night, fighting back the hours till you find
Encouraging staying awake to overcome challenges until finding the desired closeness.
The kind of close you're looking for
Expressing a longing for a particular type of intimacy or connection.
Why is it every time, I need you more than ever
Questioning the consistency of needing someone more during difficult times.
Tried to tow the line, but my feet are tied up fettered
Attempting to conform to a standard but feeling restrained and entangled.
I was tripping out the door
Describing a state of confusion or disorientation while leaving.
I was falling from your porch when you said
Recalling a moment of vulnerability when departing from a significant place.
You can fall into my arms; I'll pick you up and bring you through the door
Extending an offer to provide support and comfort during difficult times.
I'll meet every morning we can walk the road and we'll skip the line you've drawn
Envisioning shared mornings and the possibility of overcoming obstacles together.
And should you ever go again the offer stands all I have in store
Reiterating the offer of support and expressing readiness to give everything available.
Is yours to keep see the letters read just stay and be
Offering everything one has with the condition of staying and being satisfied.
And never claw for more
Advising against seeking more and suggesting contentment with what is offered.
