Keep On Movin'
Lovers and Poets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saying goodbye to yesterday
A kiss for luck and I'm on my way
I thank you for the time we shared
But baby I'm afraid it'll never be the same

I turn out all the lights and close the door
Gotta find what I'm looking for in my soul
Gonna fly on over to the other side
Making my way across a sky of gold

I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not looking over my shoulder

Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'

The world keeps spinning round and round
Gotta take it all in before the clock runs down
Nothing's gonna keep me standing still
Gonna shake the hourglass before my time runs out

I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not looking over my shoulder

Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'

Destiny knows where my heart belongs
Now I awake to find that life goes on and on.

Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'




Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'
