Gotta keep on moving

Gotta find a way to get close to you

Help me keep on moving, gotta

stay on my feet if I wanna get close to you

I’m not bad at moving, when I gotta,

And I just don’t know what else to do

Gotta keep my head up, every

Now and then look up to the sky

Been so low I don’t recall what the 

Leaves on the trees look like

I’m doing my best,

But won’t you help me with the rest

Oh while I’m still breathing 

I’m moving fast

If you want me to stay

You gotta ask

If only I could love you

I would spend all night getting close to you

If only I could love you I would 

Be the one you could call yours

Oh it sounds so pretty, 

But if I don’t show you know I’m so unsure

Oh while I’m still breathing 

I’m moving fast

If you want me to stay 

You gotta ask

I won’t say it won’t work if you

Say you’ll do the same 

Hold myself still,

Stop

And get myself to stay

But every time I try

You just slip off to the side

And I keep moving

Oh while I’m still breathing 

I’m moving fast

If you want me to stay

You gotta ask x2

I left home when I was 17

Just to see if the grass was really green

4 years deep of things left behind

but you know I’ve got it all still on my mind

Bet you’ve already heard a song like this

One that ends in that perfect farewell kiss

But I won’t play that same old game

Not that flawless role we all seem to wanna play

In your hands my heavy heart

Nowhere to put all the shame

Give me back my fragileness 

And please take some of the blame

I love you now that you want me to

And that’s not something I usually do

Digging up the roots of this old oak tree

Is just a little harder than I thought it’d be

In your hands my heavy heart

Nowhere to put all the shame

Give me back my fragileness 

And please take some of the blame

I gave you the key to let yourself in

To that secret place nobody’s ever been

You peaked your head inside and looked around

I can only hope you won’t let me down

I don’t know if you see

Just how much you mean to me

So let me know what you find

In this sheltered heart of mine

In your hands my heavy heart

Nowhere to put all the shame

Give me back my fragileness 

And please take some of the blame

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what’s going on

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Ain’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

Heard from my baby yesterday

he said that he’s doing fine

heard from my baby yesterday

he said he’s doing fine

so damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

Been looking for good company

to help me clear my head

I’ve been looking for good company 

to help me clear my head

One more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

They told me just to wait it out

these blues will come and go

told me just to wait it out

these blues will come and go

but days keep getting colder and the sun don’t seem to show

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what’s going on

I’ve been down and under 

don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Ain’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet

‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
