“Keep Me” washes over us with a wave of nostalgia; the song’s opening phone call is a desperate plea to reconnect with a fading friendship. The lyrics paint a picture of unwavering support, a bond cemented by shared experiences and laughter. Yet, a heavy distance hangs in the air, the “moment we once had” fading like a dream. The song becomes a plea to hold onto the connection, to revisit those cherished memories, and to reignite the spark that once defined their friendship.
If I picked up the phone
Just to hear your voice
After a long, long time
If you needed a friend
Or a helping hand
I stood by your side
When the song was right
And you gave me a smile
With a spark in your eye
What could we do
to keep the memories true and alive
/Ref./
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share
/Verse 2/
All the good friends you had
All the good friends you lost
Along the way
Every laughter and smile
All the tears you have cried
Were not in vain
They are bricks in the wall
They're what you're made of
Your roots in the ground
What should we do
With the feelings we lost and found
/Bridge/
Nothing is forgotten, all the scars remain
But lessons took for granted turn to fail
Walk with me again out in the summer rain
Just to see what's worth remembering
Just to see what's worth remembering
Yeah, you’ll see what's worth remembering
And what is worth
Of letting go
To rest in peace
/Ref./
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share
Keep me in the moment we once had
Meet me in the memories we share
/Ref.../
Keep me in the moment won't you
Keep me in the moment darlin'
Keep me in the memories we share
