Keep On
Reed & Radley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling
Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling

Keep on with falling, it's the way through the night
Though it seems like a long way 'til your eyes will see the light

When it seems like you're contented
And the world would be demented
Take a step out of your comfort
When you've fallen on your face

Say it's not enough for me (keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)
Even if it's all I need (keep on, keep on falling, falling)
(Keep on, keep on falling, falling)
Love is not enough for me (keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)
And you get up off your knees (keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)
(Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)

When you fall, it will follow, it will shine, it will bite
And you'll see all the windows that have closed up on your life

When you're feeling bright and breezy
'Bout the way your life is easy
Take a leap into the unknown
When you've fallen, let them know

Say it's not enough for me (keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)
Even if it's all I need (keep on, keep on falling, falling)
(Keep on, keep on falling, falling)
Love is not enough for me (keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)
And you get up off your knees (keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)
(Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling)

Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling
Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling




Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling
Keep, keep, keep on falling, falling
