"Keeping Me Around" lyrics

She likes thrift store flannels
Half-burnt candles, grandma's gold chain
Old books with the coffee stains
She likes things that ain't that new
Well, I got miles on me too
Along with everything she's found
She's still keeping me around
She likes gardens growing, wishing, hoping
Works in progress, things with promise
She likes when the good guys win
Thinks I might be one of them
Even when I let her down
She's still keeping me around

And I can't help wondering what she's thinking
When she looks at me
I've counted up a million reasons
She could find to leave
People ask her why, people ask me how
Well, add it to the list of things I haven't figured out
And never will
As long as she's still keeping me around

She likes going places, cheap vacations
I like driving, carrying her suitcases
When it's one degree too cold
I wrap her up inside my coat
Yeah, it's simple but it sounds
Like she's still keeping me around

And I can't help wondering what she's thinking
When she looks at me
I've counted up a million reasons
She could find to leave
People ask her why, people ask me how
Well, add it to the list of things I haven't figured out
And never will
As long as she's still keeping me around

People ask her why, people ask me how
Well, add it to the list of things I haven't figured out
And never will
As long as she's still keeping me around
As long as she's still keeping me around
