Keep Moving On
The Blackout Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I'm looking at you, and you're liking it too
I would never ask for anything more
As I'm walking away, won't you ask me to stay
I'm sorry if I'm not good enough

What if I was never aiming to lie
What if I don't have to say goodbye?

Keep on moving
Keep on moving
Where did it go, where did it go?
Keep on moving, where did it go?

And now you're walking with me, and I'm all I can be
Just don't ask for any more than this
Just speak only the truth, even if your voice shakes
I want to know where I stand with you

Sorry that I never thought it would change
What if we don't let the past hold sway?

Keep on moving
Keep on moving
Where did it go, where did it go?
Keep on moving, where did it go?

Do you know which way to start?
Do you know where we're aiming at the sky?

Just keep on moving

Keep on moving
Keep on moving
Where did it go, where did it go?
Keep on moving, where did it go?

Do you know which way to start
Do you know where we're aiming at the sky?

Do you know which way to start
Do you know where we're aiming at the sky?
