KEEP YOU CLOSE by dEUS

You were young, you had time on your hands

And I, was a rollercoaster of the kind

That needs to ride so high to dive so low

All the time I had to keep you close

Now I finally know how it must have hurt

To see all of the love and care only work

A little while, and then I'd go

All the time I had to keep you close

What you feel is what you get

You know there is no answer fit

We broke the code so long ago

I'm going to keep you ever close

Just like on the day we met

You're pulling on me like a cigarette

So like the sea holds to the shore

I'm going to keep you ever close

Now the years have a way to make you forget

That we're still in the same place, no hurry yet

The path we're on is the path we chose

I'll still remember how to keep you close

Linger on, linger on in the scheme of things

We are only inhabiting our own dreams

They don't come true, it's the way it goes

And in the meantime I will hold you close

Cause in my heart and in my head

You are the only dream I dreamt

Fear will keep me on my toes

I'm going to keep you ever close

Just like on the day we met

You're pulling on me like a cigarette

So like the sea holds to the shore

I'm going to keep you ever close

So is this what they mean about moving on

Is this really the end you won't stick around

The one that stays, you're the one that throws out

The one that has kept you close

And is this definition of constant change

A transformation of what we hope stays the same

Cold's the breeze that forever blows

Warm are the hands that have kept you close

Coldness is what lays ahead

So when I see you should I just pretend

The flower's cut but it still grows

I'm going to keep you ever close

Just like on the day we met

I'm pulling on you like a cigarette

So like the sea holds to the shore

I'm going to keep you ever close

I draw your face with words, and you deny it all and stain just to leave your eyes staring back at me.
