Keep On
Isle & Fever Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

you got to keep working
you got to keep up
you’re not far behind us all

you got to keep working
you got to keep up
you’re not far behind us all

cuz all of this world
does not float round you
or surround you
we can talk bout these girls
all that you want to
to distract yourself from you

you can’t forget all that planning now
you can’t forget all that planning now

whoever said it would be easy
has never been

you can keep your faith but you’ll still
never win

find that shore
climbing the walls
