Texty: Ben Harper. Live From the Montreal International Jazz Festival. Keep It Together.

I'm not sure what worries me more
The fact that I'm talking to the wall
Or that the wall keeps answering me
Saying that I've heard it all before

Never underestimate how complicated
A simple life can be
You gotta keep it together, you gotta keep it together
You gotta keep it together so I can fall apart

I know you've grown tired of trying to feed me
And I know by now my reputation proceeds me
I know you've grown tired of trying to fix me
And I know by now my best years
They are no longer, no longer, with me

We keep it together, you've gotta keep it together
You've gotta keep it together so, so I can fall apart
You've gotta keep it together, you've gotta keep it together
Please keep it together so I can fall apart

Gotta keep it together
Please keep it together
You've gotta keep it so I can fall apart
So I can fall a, fall apart, fall apart

You've gotta keep it together
You've gotta keep it together
Keep it together, you've gotta keep it
Oh, you've gotta keep it together
Please keep it together

I need you to keep it together
So I can fall apart, so I can fall, fall apart
I need to fall apart, keep it together
Please, please, keep it together

I need you, I need you, I'm asking you
I'm asking you to keep it together
Somethin' I, somethin' I can't, somethin' I can't find
Find, so I can fall apart
