Can't Keep Up
Chasing Shadows of Love: Wood & Wire's Musical Pursuit
Lyrics
I can't keep up with you baby,
I struggle to keep up with you, my partner
I can't keep up with you baby
Reiteration of the difficulty in keeping pace with the partner
You got me runnin' round like a chicken that's headed for gravy
You have me running around like a chicken, metaphorically chaotic
I can't keep up with you baby,
Expressing the ongoing challenge of keeping up
I can't keep up with you baby
Continuing to emphasize the difficulty in keeping pace
But I'll keep on hangin' around if you like it that way
Despite the challenges, I'll continue to stick around if it pleases you
I offer you a line and you refuse me
Offering something, but the partner rejects it
It's like I followed the wrong car and you're trying to lose me
Feeling like I made a wrong choice and you're trying to distance yourself
I can't keep up with you baby,
Reiteration of the struggle to keep up
I can't keep up with you baby
Repeating the difficulty in keeping pace
But I'll keep on hangin' around if you like it that way
Despite the challenges, I'll keep being around if you prefer
I'm nothing compared to you baby,
Feeling inadequate compared to the partner
I'm nothing compared to you baby
Reiteration of feeling inferior to the partner
Awash in the dark sea, and you're there to save me
Feeling lost and in need, with the partner as a savior
I'm nothing compared to you baby,
Continuation of feeling inferior to the partner
I'm nothing compared to you baby
Reiteration of feeling less significant compared to the partner
But I'll keep on hanging around, if you like it that way
Despite the perceived inadequacy, I'll continue to be around if you prefer
On and on the seasons true and tried
Reference to the enduring nature of seasons and experiences
You know I only want to be there by your side
Expressing the desire to be consistently by the partner's side
I'm nothing compared to you baby,
Reiteration of feeling inferior to the partner
I'm nothing compared to you baby But I'll keep on hanging around, if you like it that way
Despite the perceived inadequacy, I'll keep being around if you prefer
You are a festival baby,
Describing the partner as a joyful and celebratory presence
you are a festival baby
Reiteration of the partner being a joyful and celebratory presence
And you're the only one that I'm ever gonna wanna play
You are the only one I want to be with and engage in life's festivities
You are a festival baby, you are a festival baby
Reiteration of the partner being a joyful and celebratory presence
But I'll keep on hanging around, I know you like it that way
Despite challenges, I'll keep being around because you like it
Thought you'd turn me down, turns out you crave me When I thought you'd turn around, turns out you saved me
Unexpectedly, you desire me when I expected rejection, and you save me when I expected abandonment
You are a festival baby,
Describing the partner as a joyful and celebratory presence
you are a festival baby
Reiteration of the partner being a joyful and celebratory presence
But I'll keep on hanging around, if you like it that way
Despite challenges, I'll keep being around because you like it
We'll keep on hangin' around if you like it that way
Commitment to continue being around if the partner desires
