Keeping You Around Lyrics
[Intro]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
[Verse 1]
Slow down, show me
Tell me how a modern human should be
It's so easy
You're so pretty when you lie to me
But how much blame can we take, babe? Oh-oh
When all our friends are so shady
[Chorus]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killin' war
Or seein' sound, ah-ah
Than I've got of keepin' you around
Of keepin' you around, of keepin' you around
[Verse 2]
Dead club, so low
So good, I'm pretendin' it's fun though
Headfuck won't go
So tired of bein' tired, you know
I wish I could make it easy, oh-oh-oh
I'm still a broken machine, babe
[Chorus]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killin' war
Or seein' sound, ah-ah
Than I've got of keepin' you around
Of keepin' you around, of keepin' you around
[Bridge]
Build somethin' up just to knock it down
Live a quiet life in a quiet town
Maybe everyone will forget me now
Could we just start over?
Build somethin' up just to knock it down
Live a quiet life in a quiet town
Maybe everyone will forget me now
Could we just start over?
[Chorus]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killin' war
Or seein' sound, ah-ah
Than I've got of keepin' you around
Of keepin' you around, of keepin' you around

What did Nothing But Thieves say about "Keeping You Around"?
“Keeping You Around” is the first turning point people will hear about Dead Club City. Up until now, it’s been the perfect life and a change to follow. Not for everyone.
Within the concept, the song follows the same characters as “Overcome” and what happens once they reach the city. In general, it’...
What have the artists said about the song?
Joe Langridge-Brown:
This has a more of a hip-hop leaning thing to it, which has formed in NBT quite recently—for Moral Panic and Moral Panic II. That’s maybe a hangover from there. There’s also a ‘chicken or egg’ thing with the lyric, ‘I’m still a broken machine, babe.’ The song reminded us a litt...
