Keep Going
Berger & Shaqiri feat. NAT Lyrics

I keep goin' back to Joe's
Despite everything that happened, the singer keeps returning to Joe's.

To that table in the corner,
The singer goes straight to his usual table in the corner.

Sippin' wine and staring at the door.
The singer sips wine while waiting and hoping for someone to walk in and surprise him.

Our old waiter knows we're through,
The waiter has noticed that the artist and his partner are no longer together.

Still he sets a place for you
However, the waiter still sets a place for the other person, holding on to the hope that they may reunite.

Everything the way it was before.
The singer still clings to the hope that everything can return to how it used to be.

The man who plays piano
The person known for playing the piano in Joe's.

Never plays your favorite melody.
Despite the song's presence on the piano player's repertoire, neither the artist nor the piano player plays the partner's favorite song.

Joe keeps busy at the bar,
Joe, the bartender, keeps himself busy at the bar.

Never asks me where you are.
He never asks the artist where their partner is.

He was there when you walked out on me.
Joe witnessed the moment when the partner walked out from the singer.

Now I pray you'll walk back in,
The artist prays for the partner to walk back into Joe's.

And you'll say what fools we've been,
The singer hopes that the partner will confess that they acted foolishly.

And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning.
The singer anticipates that they will reconcile and celebrate a new beginning together.

Chances are you'll never show,
The singer acknowledges that the partner may never return.

But you'll know just where to find me
Despite this, the artist remains at Joe's, believing that the partner may come back to the same spot.

Every night until it's time to close.
The artist remains until closing time every night in the hope that the partner would return.

Just in case you miss me, too,
The singer believes that the partner still cares for them and misses them too, hoping they will reunite one day.

I'll be there to welcome you.
The singer is ready to welcome the partner with open arms if and when the partner returns.

That's why I keep going back...
The artist goes back to Joe's repeatedly because of the hope of seeing the partner again.

To Joe's.
The song ends with the artist stating again that they keep coming back to Joe's.
