Keith and Renee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you give me up so easily
Or am I something to fight for
Oh knight with no armor
If you knew that all he showed to me
Could you open up your eyes and see
That the something you're missing
Feeling impatient
Times being wasted
I need a replacement
Found an arrangement
Done with the games and for you to figure out
I'm sick of waiting for you to come around
I'm so sorry but
I'm messing with another man
Even when I'm laying his hands
Thinking maybe should be you instead
I'm so sorry that I'm dreaming of another dude
Even when I'm laying next to you
I just cannot seem to pick and choose
What am I gonna do
And I didn't even realize
I had built something with different guys
Too much
Which one
Messed up
I'm stuck
Can't get enough
Of us in love
Don't want to hurt him
Oh I wish he'd just leave and
Set me free of this burden
So this blame ain't on me
Won't feel as bad of a person
For all the love he received
I was just having fun
Now I gotta pick one
Felt so impatient
Time was so wasted
Needed a replacement
Found an arrangement
Done with the games and for you to figure out
I'm sick of waiting for you to come around
I'm so sorry but
I'm messing with another man
Even when I'm laying his hands
Thinking maybe should be you instead
I'm so sorry that I'm dreaming of another dude
Even when I'm laying next to you
I just cannot seem to pick and choose
What am I gonna do
I cannot help it
I feel so selfish
Loved making you jealous
But this is torture
You or the other
It's all so real
Whoever's heart breaks
I hope it heals
I cannot help it
I feel so selfish
Loved making you jealous
But this is torture
You or the other
It's all so real
Whoever's heart breaks
I hope it heals

Line by Line Meaning
If you knew all that he gave to me
If you were aware of everything he provided for me
Would you give me up so easily
Would you let me go without a struggle
Or am I something to fight for
Or am I someone worth fighting for
Oh knight with no armor
Oh, a person who tries to protect without a defense
If you knew that all he showed to me
If you understood everything he revealed to me
Could you open up your eyes and see
Could you finally realize and comprehend
That the something you're missing
That the thing you lack
Are lost in his kisses
Are found in his affectionate gestures
Feeling impatient
Becoming restless
Times being wasted
Time is being squandered
I need a replacement
I require a substitute
Found an arrangement
Discovered a solution
Done with the games and for you to figure out
Tired of the manipulations and for you to comprehend
I'm sick of waiting for you to come around
I'm tired of waiting for you to change your ways
I'm so sorry but
I apologize, however
I'm messing with another man
I'm involved with someone else
Even when I'm laying his hands
Even in his touch
Thinking maybe should be you instead
Considering that it should be you instead
I'm so sorry that I'm dreaming of another dude
I apologize for fantasizing about someone else
Even when I'm laying next to you
Even when I'm beside you
I just cannot seem to pick and choose
I simply cannot decide
What am I gonna do
What actions am I going to take
And I didn't even realize
And I failed to acknowledge
I had built something with different guys
I established connections with various men
Too much
Unsurmountable
Which one
Whom to choose
Messed up
Confused
I'm stuck
I'm trapped
Can't get enough
Can't satisfy my desires
Of us in love
Of our affectionate relationship
Don't want to hurt him
I don't wish to cause him pain
Oh I wish he'd just leave and
Oh, I desire for him to depart and
Set me free of this burden
Release me from this weight I carry
So this blame ain't on me
So I won't be held responsible for this fault
Won't feel as bad of a person
Won't feel as guilty
For all the love he received
For all the affection he was given
I was just having fun
I was merely seeking enjoyment
Now I gotta pick one
Now I have to make a choice
Felt so impatient
I felt impatient
Time was so wasted
Time was completely wasted
Needed a replacement
Needed a substitute
Found an arrangement
Discovered a solution
Done with the games and for you to figure out
Tired of the manipulations and for you to comprehend
I'm sick of waiting for you to come around
I'm tired of waiting for you to change your ways
I cannot help it
I can't control it
I feel so selfish
I experience extreme self-centeredness
Loved making you jealous
Enjoyed causing you envy
But this is torture
However, this is agonizing
You or the other
You or someone else
It's all so real
It's all undeniably true
Whoever's heart breaks
Whoever's heart gets broken
I hope it heals
I hope it recovers

@smithbros1000
I've seen these two perform 3 times.(See their videos from "FolkhouseOmaha") Song-writing, musicianship, harmonies and personality; they've got it all! If you get a chance, see them. Buy an album and you'll be hooked! K&R, come back to Omaha, we miss you! PS: Keith, I'm using a photo that I took of your guitar as my avatar; I hope you don't mind! LMS
