Song meaning of Keep You Around by The Story So Far

Hey there, music lovers! Today, I wanna chat about a song that really hit me in the feels - "Keep You Around" by The Story So Far. This song is like a warm hug on a cold day, you know? It's all about dealing with loss and trying to move forward while still keeping those memories close to your heart.

The lyrics in the verse talk about feeling overwhelmed by outside distractions but finding solace in taking time to process emotions. It's like when life gets too loud, sometimes you just need a moment to yourself to breathe and heal. The singer mentions wanting to be there for their mother, showing that even in their own struggles, they still care deeply for others.

And then we get to the chorus, where the singer questions how they'll cope with the loss, using the imagery of shielding themselves in the memory of the person they've lost. It's a beautiful way to express that feeling of wanting to hold on to someone even when they're no longer physically there.

In the bridge, the lyrics "I mean it when I say always" really resonated with me. It's a promise to always remember and cherish the person they've lost, even as they try to move forward. The line "I hear you calling me somehow" gives me chills, as if the memory of the person is still guiding and comforting them.

Overall, "Keep You Around" is a poignant reminder that it's okay to grieve and hold on to memories, even as we continue to navigate life without that person. The raw emotion in the lyrics and the heartfelt delivery by The Story So Far really make this song a standout for me.

So, next time you need a good cry or just some comfort, give "Keep You Around" a listen. It's like a musical hug for your soul. Let me know what you think of this song and if it touched your heart like it did mine!
