Keep on Keeping On

Chorus
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 

Verse 1
He spent most of his youth 
with his head down
chubby, fugly, awkward walk 
and not much of a talker
He was good at setting bad examples
but bad at math, crunch time
He kept it moving like the lunch line
Working on his salad bars 
and fruit punch lines
His simple triplets had his 
english teachers tongue tied 
As he starts pirouette for perfection 
and Darren Aronofsky black swan refection 

Pre
He plucked feather from his back
And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward
toward something more, he wasn't sure
He plucked feather from his back
And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward
toward something more

Chorus
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 

Verse 2
Raised in a broken home built brick 
by government cheese brick
back and forth between parents
making us sea sick
On his knees every night
praying for a little change 
but the tooth fairy was broke 
and offered little hope
He used to stand in front of mirrors
with his toothbrush star searching
But he ain't have to search far
He was smart and made a pact with himself 
with a smirk and made a vow that one day
his dad would never ever have to worry

Pre
He plucked feather from his back
And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward
toward something more, he wasn't sure
He plucked feather from his back
And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward
toward something more

Chorus
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 

Verse 3
Fast forward a few 24 hours
Little boy turned man 
makes good on his promise
Just to say we didn't take the trips
to the bahamas 
Now you're boy bank account 
got a few more commas...
The hard work payed off, don't it?
Plus it feel good when you can say you own it 
No rent, lease, loan or a mortgage
That generator money, no shortage

Pre
He plucked feather from his back
And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward
toward something more, he wasn't sure
He plucked feather from his back
And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward
toward something more

Chorus
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 

Bridge Instrumental

Chorus
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh 
You gotta keep on keeping on
Even with the feeling 
that you're gonna keep losing
You gotta come back strong
Oh Oh

Keep On Keeping On (feat. Brendon Urie)

I've been writing music most of my life. Songs have always been the place where I've sorted out the events of day. If you trace these songs back far enough they tell a story of where I've been and what I've seen along the way. That said, most people don't have the time to sort through the hundreds of songs that have collected in the wake of my 20 plus years behind a piano, and that's why I love "Cecilia and the Satellite". As a song it encapsulate so much living against the back drop of a new life. Cecilia was written with the knowledge that my wife and I would soon meet our first child. With the hope of avoiding territory this type of song often treads, I tried to create a road map of the life I had lived leading up to that moment. One my daughter might look back on some day. A strange life of constant motion, spent traveling in the pursuit of music. A life I’ve nearly lost on more than one occasion and one which I am thankful for, now more than ever. Deep down this song is about more than me and where I’ve been, it’s about more than my daughter and what I want for her. It’s about being proud of where you come from and wanting the most for the people you share your world with.

Keep an eye out for tour dates on Monday!

LYRICS
I’ve locked myself in a hotel room
Then waited all night for the walls to move
I've loved some girls that I barely knew
I’ve made some friends, and I’ve lost some too
 
Crashed my car, I was seventeen
My mother in the seat riding next to me
The things I’ve learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
 
For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
 
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
Been around the world with a punk rock band
And I’ve seen London, and I’ve played Japan
I’ve been knocked down, I got up again
 
For all the places I have been, I’m no place without you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
Oh, Oh
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
 
For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you
 
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I’d keep you safe, I’d keep you dry
Don’t be afraid, Cecilia, I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky
I’m the satellite
And you’re the sky
And you’re the sky
