Matt Nathanson Kept song lyrics

I watched the flames, slow and strange

It lit the walls and filled my eyes

I heard your voice through the noise

I was cold and it was warm inside

And I should have kept my hands

I should have kept my arms inside

I believe it now

I should have kept my head

I should have kept my heart

My heart

Shooting stars, falling leaves

And the more things change, well, the more I sleep

Well, I took her heart and I licked her wounds

Then morning came and it felt like truth

But I, I should have kept my hands

I should have kept my arms inside

Yeah, I believe it now

I should have kept my head

I should have kept my heart

My heart

And I'm on my knees

And I should have kept my hands

I should have kept my arms inside

Yeah, I believe you now

I should have kept my head

I should have kept my heart

M-m-my heart
