Keep Me Watching
Jason Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paralyzed, I’m caught in the headlights
Unexpected but it feels like you already know
What you’re doing to me

(Verse)
You’re a hit and I’m addicted
Couldn’t quit you if I wanted
But I don’t… ever wanna turn away

(Pre-Chorus)
One look and I’m frozen
And I lose track of time
You move in slow motion
And I can’t close my eyes
Takin all of my attention
But I don’t want you to stop it
No oh

(Chorus)
You keep me watching
You keep me watching

(Verse)
On the edge of what might happen
You’re a line that leaves me hanging
Every word keeps me wanting more, yea

(Verse)
Only you keep me lost in the fire
Girl, you’re like no other color I’ve ever seen
I’ve ever seen before

(Pre-Chorus)
One look and I’m frozen
And I lose track of time
You move in slow motion
And I can’t close my eyes
Takin all of my attention
But I don’t want you to stop it
No oh

(Chorus)
You keep me watching
You keep me watching

(Bridge)
And I can’t keep my mind off of you
Oh, I can’t keep my mind off of you

(Pre-Chorus)
One look and I’m frozen
And I lose track of time
You move in slow motion
And I can’t close my eyes
Takin all of my attention
But I don’t want you to stop it
No oh

(Chorus)
You keep me watching




You keep me watching
You keep me watching

What you’re doing to me
Your actions have a profound effect on me

One look and I’m frozen
A single glance from you leaves me unable to move

You’re a line that leaves me hanging
You often say things that you do not finish and it leaves me longing for more

Each statement of yours leaves me craving for more of your words


Only you keep me lost in the fire
You alone have the power to obliterate my senses and leave me without bearings


Girl, you’re like no other color I’ve ever seen
You are a unique and unparalleled shade of beauty, unlike anything I have ever witnessed


And I can’t keep my mind off of you
I cannot stop myself from constantly thinking about you
