Keeping - Izzard

Loser Ah, ah You left without saying goodbye (fuck, fuck, fuck) Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry I ball a fist and die inside I wish I didn't, but regrettably, I entirely understand why you did it Take one step forward and two jumps back One hand on the gate of this cul-de-sac Some cursed part of me wants to be cornered Right into it even if we crack You left early and you arrived too late Just right in time to be a huge mistake So I wish you well, and I wish you far away This was never real, I'll say it 'til I believe it I wish I never met you You are the worst thing that I'm still Keeping tabs on for some stupid reason You were just being nice Now I fully believe you're out there somewhere also Keeping tabs on how I might be feeling For some stupid reason I keep on believing You care and you're reeling too I don't even know you Drowning in my own Sad, imagined fantasy of who you could be The reality is you Unironically love personality tests All of the data's weak, half-amusing at best But it could never work 'cause I'm an Enneatype 4 Aquarius You say the wrong thing every time you talk The red flags wave, the alarms sound off I'm so glad our paths didn't cross I'm so glad, I'll say it 'til I believe it I wish I never met you You are the worst thing that I'm still Keeping tabs on for some stupid reason You're the same with everyone I'm not special, no, you're not out there just Keeping tabs on how I might be feeling That's all just imagined I keep on believing You care and you miss me too I need to get over you Oh, oh I need to get over you

Feel the same way that I do? Or maybe I'm just a fool, for you Keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night You got me thinkin', this could be something You're keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night But you know I don't mind You got me thinkin', this could be something You're keeping me up all night Night, night Keeping me up all, keeping me up all Nights are getting longer And I can't help but wonder Wonder if you're losing sleep, thinkin' 'bout me Tell me honestly Do you even see me too? Feel the same way that I do? Or maybe I'm just a fool, for you Keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night You got me thinkin', this could be something You're keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night But you know I don't mind You got me thinkin', this could be something You're keeping me up all night Night, night Keeping me up all, keeping me up all night Night, night Keeping me up all, keeping me up all night Keeping me up 'til the break of dawn And it ain't gonna stop 'til the sun is gone Stuck in a daydream 'Cause you're the one who's keeping me up all night (Keeping me up all night) Keeping me up 'til the break of dawn And it ain't gonna stop 'til the sun is gone Stuck in a daydream 'Cause you're the one who's keeping me up all Keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night You got me thinking, this could be something You're keeping me up all night Keeping me up all night But you know I don't mind You got me thinking, this could be something You're keeping me up all night Night, night Keeping me up all, keeping me up all night Keeping me up 'til the break of dawn And it ain't gonna stop 'til the sun is gone Stuck in a daydream 'Cause you're the one who's keeping me up all night

If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days Oh, then you should have known me much better 'Cause my past is something that never got in my way Oh, no Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends Oh, 'cause I never felt the desire To let music set me on fire And then I was saved, yeah That's why I'm keeping the faith Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Keeping the faith We wore matador boots Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel Iridescent socks with the same color shirt And a tight pair of chinos Oh, I put on my shark skin jacket You know the kind with the velvet collar And ditty bop shades Oh, yeah I took a fresh pack of Luckies And a mint called Sen-Sen My old man's Trojans and his Old Spice after shave Oh, combed my hair in a pompadour Like the rest of the Romeos wore A permanent wave, yeah We were keeping the faith Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Keeping the faith You can get just so much from a good thing You can linger too long in your dreams Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies 'Cause the good ole days weren't always good And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems Learned stickball as a formal education Lost a lot of fights but it taught me how to lose ok Oh, I heard about sex but not enough I found you could dance and still look tough anyway Oh, yes I did I found out a man ain't just being macho Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food Drank a lot of take home pay I thought I was the Duke of Earl When I made it with a red haired girl In the Chevrolet, oh yeah We were keeping the faith Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Keeping the faith You know the good ole days weren't always good And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems I told you my reasons for the whole revival Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade Oh, I'm going to listen to my 45's Ain't it wonderful to be alive when the rock n' roll plays, yeah When the memory stays, yeah I'm keeping the faith Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm keeping the faith I'm keeping the faith Yes I am You know I'm keeping the faith, oh yes I am You know I'm keeping the faith Oh, you know I am I'm keeping the faith, oh yeah

And oh God, it's a long walk home But I understand why I walk alone 'Cause hey, we keep it a secret And in your car it's an endless dream Of ways we could keep this feeling clean But hey, we're keeping a secret All my guts Push me out Onto your front stoop Oh, and oh my god I've changed myself To what we might do (If we stop keeping a secret) One more dance, one more night Hanging on for bitter moonlight They can't change what we started If we stop keeping a secret I can't let go All your pictures on my phone All your clothes are in my bedroom What if we stop keeping a secret? What if we stop keeping a secret? What if we stop keeping a secret? Woke up to the pain I feel When I place my bets on your winding wheel But hey, let's keep it a secret And what a choice to choose to be held By somebody who slips in and out of themselves Oh wait, hard keeping a secret All my guts Push me out Sat on your front stoop Oh, and oh my god, I've changed myself To what we might do (If we stop keeping a secret) One more dance One more night Hanging on for bitter moonlight They can't change, what we started If we start keeping a secret I can't let go All your pictures on my phone All your clothes are in my bedroom What if we stop keeping a secret? What if we stop keeping a secret? What if we stop keeping a secret? Fade into memory 'Cause I think about you Like this piece of you that's right there but I can't grab you Because you're fading to my mind And I tell myself that you're doing exactly what I'm doing, Imagining, imagining...
