Isaac Knox - Can I Keep You? (To Live and Die in Friendship, Maine) lyrics

[Intro] Casper, close the window, it's cold [Verse 1: Isaac Knox] We're back, well sorta I'm not back to Florida Heath's not back to Georgia We're just back, south of the border Down from the North like a mountain of sorts That we now have endured to the ground where we're born And this route got us 14 hours or more through towns And I sure ain't been round here before Get me out of this corner of the map to the people who sent me First day back and already less friendly An American heir saying arrogant prayers Same face, but I feel a new character there And I'm now in the league of the mentally and morally fatigued And it dawns on me I'm honestly open to a relationship Like subconsciously I wanna be taken away from this (When she falls asleep) Don't wanna see the pad and pen I just wanna see my fam and friends (When she falls asleep) But I'm not at the end For better or worse I'll be back again [Hook] Can I keep you? Can I keep you? Keep you? Can I keep you? Can I keep you? Keep you? [Verse 2: Heir Jordan] Lines on the map make all the difference Road signs recall the distance Familiar words, so I'm optimistic (it's all America to me) At home in a state where I've never been [?] let me in Maine is Florida, Maine is Georgia (it's all America to me) They measure the distance in miles here, and I feel better Ain't seen your face in a while, dear, write me a letter The trees look the same The people look the same Such a subtle change, but I feel better Must've been something that I did wrong But I can deal with that when I get home I feel like I'm just about to resurface It might be a while 'til I feel like a person again (it's all America to me) [Hook] [Verse 3: Heath McNease] We're cold It got Friendship, Maine, Friendship, Maine, cold It got cold And it turned to a fever that never broke, I'm gone Alone, 'til she came out east in a broke down car that's home My own, my own little piece of a life that I never known, known (When she falls asleep) Don't wanna see the pad and pen I just wanna see my fam and friends (When she falls asleep) But I'm not at the end For better or worse I'll be back again [Hook] [Verse 4: Heath McNease] I knew her mom was an angel, but she looked like one, too Too soon, yes I'll let go when the bell tolls all to soon, soon She get to see the real me She get to see the real me 'Til the clock comes sooner than you think will you still need me when our two hands meet but She get to see who I was She get to see who I was 'Til the clock comes sooner than we want will you still need me when our two hands touch but (When you fall asleep) (When you fall asleep) [Hook]
