She Keeps Me Warm
She Keeps Me Warm Lyrics
She says I smell like safety and home
I named both of her eyes Forever and Please Don't Go
I could be your morning sunrise all the time, all the time, yeah
This could be good, this could be good
[Chorus]
And I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm
[Verse 2]
What's your middle name?
Do you hate your job?
Do you fall in love too easily?
What's your favorite word?
You like kissing girls?
Can I call you baby?
[Pre-Chorus]
She says that people stare
Cause we look so good together
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change, even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm
[Outro]
I'm not crying on Sundays, I'm not crying on Sundays
I'm not crying on Sundays, I'm not crying on Sundays
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient, love is kind
My love, my love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm, she keeps me warm
About
This song is an extension of her collaboration with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis on “Same Love.” Where “Same Love” advocated a message of equality for same-sex couples, this song celebrates the love and attraction within same-sex relationships.
It is a pure love song meant for all people, intending not to exploit or provide shock value, but to paint a graceful and powerful romantic picture. Written by Lambert, the song utilizes the familiar chorus and coda of “Same Love,” while employing a string-laden production and pop structure that.

Hey- it’s in the annotation to that lyric when it appears in Macklemore’s “Same Love”. But here’s the short version: “Love is patient, love is kind” is from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. She is referencing her Christian upbringing and chiding the Christian community for encouraging intolerance. The whole song is about how her girlfriend comforts her and helps her deal with the hate coming at her. Religion should comfort her in the same way but instead, it is a source of pain and rejection for her (Sunday being the Christian sabbath, when people go to church with family and neighbors, bible class as kids, and hear sermons as they grow up). If, on Sundays, the content of class and sermons and the murmurs of the community were hateful toward people like her, it was a source of particular pain. As a child, she cried on Sundays, but now, in a sense, the comfort of a loved one replaces the validation and sense of belonging that religion ought to provide.
