About This Track

'Keep' by Hatchie is an alternative track from the album 'Keepsake', released in 2019. The lyrics look back on survival and self-reproach, weighing what was said and done against what might have been imagined, then settling into a refrain about staying composed, with the speaker admitting, “I’d be a fool for any other”. The tone moves from vulnerability to a kind of steady acceptance, as if the value lies in control, not escalation. It is built around that insistence, repeating the idea of keeping one’s cool in different colours.

"Keep" is a track by Hatchie, from the album Keepsake, released 20th June 2019. The track is 4:37 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 11 articles about Hatchie.

Lyrics

Keep

If you'd said I'd still be here a year ago
I would have told you telling lies is bad for souls
Imagine all the stories left untold
If we'd kept our wildest dreams on hold

But you keep your cool, any colour
I'd be a fool for any other
Keep your cool, any colour
I'd be a fool for any other

Would I blow out your light to brighten mine?
You say it's sinful to be shy, well I'm in line
Said "I wanna go to heaven, but I'm scared of getting high"
It's not quite right

But you keep your cool, any colour
I'd be a fool for any other
Keep your cool, any colour
I'd be a fool for any other

I'm gonna let you keep my love
I know you wanna get it, I know you wanna get it
I'm gonna let you keep my love
I know you wanna get it, I know you wanna get it

I'm gonna let you keep my love
I know you wanna get it, I know you wanna get it
I'm gonna let you keep my love
I know you wanna get it, I know you wanna get it
