Keep You Mine
About the song
“Keep You Mine” by NOTD and Shy Martin is about a couple fighting but still wanting to save their love. The main theme is taking a pause, giving each other space, and trusting that time can help fix things.
The verses show a heated moment — words said in anger and tension in the room. Both know they said too much, so they choose to step back and cool off rather than make things worse. The idea is to slow down, leave the fight, and come back when the dust settles.
The chorus is gentle and hopeful: all they need is a little time to keep the connection alive. It admits falling hurts, but the pain fades by morning. In short, the song is about patience, repair, and wanting to hold onto each other even after hard times.
Lyrics
Yes, we started a fire, now the bedroom is burning
Can we put it out?
‘Cause we’re both saying things that we’re gonna regret and
Every word’s too loud
We gotta slow, slow, slow down
Get out alone, lone, lone now
Yeah, we should go, go, go now
‘Cause things are always better
Things are always better
When you call me back in a little
When the dust starts to settle
All we need is a little time
To keep me yours and keep you mine
Don’t be scared if we’re falling
It hurts less in the morning
All we need is a little time
To keep me yours and keep you mine
To keep me yours and keep you mine
There’s a cloud in this room and I can’t cut the tension
‘Cause we lost the knife
In the mountain of dishes that non of us mentioned
We eat out at night
We gotta slow, slow, slow down
Get out alone, ‘lone, ‘lone now
Yeah, we should go, go, go now
‘Cause things are always better
Things are always better
When you call me back in a little
When the dust starts to settle
All we need is a little time
To keep me yours and keep you mine
Don’t be scared if we’re falling
It hurts less in the morning
All we need is a little time
To keep me yours and keep you mine
To keep me yours and keep you mine
Call me back in a little
When the dust starts to settle
All we need is a little time
To keep me yours and keep you mine
