Keep On
Me & Mr. Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No trouble if you not, if you not let me know
No trouble if you not, if you not let me go
If you Keep Away, if you Keep Away
If you Keep Away, if you Keep Away
Now, you want to be in an other day, in an other place
Because with they you can not survive and you gone crazy
And you sip cocktails, it's the only thing you do perfectly
But then in your head, that doesn't working normally

Oh, you have to smile, or they gonna make you feel bad
Also in fact, Yeah I don't know why, they are goddamn right
Oh anyway, in a record time, they just made you mad
A bottle of Jack, and we are on Yeah for the all night
Until we can see the first day light
No trouble if you not, if you not let me know
No trouble if you not, if you not let me go
If you Keep Away, if you Keep Away
If you Keep Away, if you Keep Away
Why everybody in this world, want to be the biggest star
No problem we can talk after my Pic for instagram
Why they look in the void, the real world isn't so far
When I hear your voice, I understand this empty gaze
Oh you post one...

If you Keep Away, if you Keep Away
