About

Originally written about a dysfunctional relationship, Mockingbird realized that his writing was not painting a fictional situation between two flawed lovers. He soon took inspiration for the track and dedicated it to “Iris” (whom he thanks in the song’s description on SoundCloud). This song follows...

Keepsake Lyrics

[Chorus]
How do I say, how do I say
How do I say that I need you?
You're my keepsake, you're my keepsake
You're my keepsake, won't mislead you
How do I say, how do I say
How do I say that I need you?
You're my keepsake, you're my keepsake
You're my keepsake, won't mislead you

[Verse 1]
I'm stuck in my mind (Stuck in my mind)
I'm stuck in my mind (Stuck in my mind)
I've run out of time (Run out of time)
I done crossed the line (Done crossed the line)
Lies took what you like and forced you to hide it (Forced you to hide it)
But all despite that I think you like it (Like it)

[Chorus]
How do I say, how do I say
How do I say that I need you?
You're my keepsake, you're my keepsake
You're my keepsake, won't mislead you
How do I say, how do I say
How do I say that I need you? (That I need you)
You'rе my keepsake, you're my keepsake
You'rе my keepsake, won't mislead you (Won't mislead you)

[Bridge]
How do I say, how do I say
How do I say that I need you?
You're my keepsake, you're my keepsake
You're my keepsake, won't mislead you

[Verse 2]
1, 2, 3, go
Uh, what do you think?
Fightin' to reach for the pills at the sink
It's like everyday that you sit 'round and drink only pushes us farther away, out of sync
How many ways can I write a song, just to prove you wrong?
You do not belong on the brink
Of everything, you need a wedding ring
Girl, you're an evergreen
Girl, you better never leave
Don't leave
Remember the time that we
Met, I had said "everything happens for a reason"
You, well, you just shook your head
"Everything that happens's all according to fact"
We laughed
We spent most of our nights on both our beds
Talkin' 'bout our day, how better they both could have been
When I look back I crack a laugh
Then I think of now, give anything to get it back

[Chorus]
How do I say, how do I say
How do I say that I need you? (That I need you)
You're my keepsake, you're my keepsake
You're my keepsake, won't mislead you (Won't mislead you)
How do I say, how do I say
How do I say that I need you? (That I need you)
You're my keepsake, you're my keepsake
You're my keepsake, won't mislead you (Won't mislead you)

[Verse 3]
Remember what I say (Remember what I say)
When all of the days fade away (When all of the days fade away)
And all that is left is a grave (And all that is left is a grave)
And all it contains is a name (And all it contains is a name)
It won't ever be filled up with shame (It won't ever be filled up with shame)
All your pain will have gone away (All your pain will have gone away)
'Cause we all know that life is a game ('Cause we all know that life is a game)
And that death is just the new stage (And that death is just the new stage)

[Outro]
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Wha-wha, what do you think?
Puh-puh, pills at the sink
Wha-wha, what do you think? (La, la, la, la)
Puh-puh, pills at the sink (La, la, la, la)
Uh, what do you think?
Fightin' to reach for the pills at the sink
It's like everyday that you sit 'round and drink only pushes us farther away, out of sync (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
How many ways can I write a song, just to prove you wrong?
You do not belong on the brink
Of everything, you need a wedding ring (La, la, la, la)
Girl, you're an evergreen
Girl, you better never leave (La, la, la, la)

What did Mockingbird say about "Keepsake"?

This was heavily inspired by a close friend of mine who had been struggling over the past couple months leading up to me hearing and writing to this grunge instrumental. I realized mid-way through the second verse that I had been channeling my then-current situation with her, and after that I went a...

Whom is "Iris"?

“Iris”, while not being her real name, is whom the song is dedicated to. I decided to use my nickname for her as a tribute in itself, but also as a way to conceal her identity from any weirdos out there. You never know who’s listening.

Was there any other inspiration for this song?

Actually there is. The outro to “The Way You Love Me” Demo by Michael Jackson was a direct influence on the melodic outro. Once I recorded the “la-la’s” I realized something else was missing, so I added the “wha-wha, what do you think’s?” and re-recorded the second verse for the fade-out. I love how...
