Never come back. lyrics
by Alan Watts
[Intro: Alan Watts]
So we say in popular speech
“I have a body” not “I am a body”
But I “have” one, because I am the owner of the body
In the same way as I own an automobile
And I can take the automobile to the mechanic
And occasionally, the same way, I have to take my body
To the mechanic, the surgeon, dentist, the doctor
And have it repaired
But it belongs to me, it goes along with me, I’m in it
A child, for example, can ask mother
“Mom, who would I have been if my father had been someone elsе?”
[Chorus]
Baby come find me
I’ve run through thе black
But please don’t you try me
Or I’ll never come back
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
I’m
[Verse 1]
Losing it
Who is “myself”?
Moonlight feels lonely all by myself
All alone again
Won’t you phone a friend?
Won’t you cross my name off my badge again?
I don’t need it anymore
I don’t see clear anymore
This foggy town is blinding me
I stand my ground but still retreat eventually
Maybe I’m too scared
But who really cares?
Maybe I’m too scared
But who really cares?
[Chorus]
Baby come find me
I’ve run through the black
But don’t f*ckin’ try me
Or I’ll never come back
[Post-Chorus]
Anxiety, you’re a hell of a drug
But we’re f*cking done
[Verse 2]
You’re a f*cking drug
Depression got me stuck
I’m better off alone
I meant to write this song for you a week ago (so long ago)
Now I’m numb (so numb)
Don’t you say you love me
You don’t f*cking know what love is (no)
So don’t say you do (don’t say it)
‘Cause it isn’t true (it isn’t)
I thought I knew you (I thought you were real)
I was dumb (so dumb)
I was wrong (so wrong)
Turn me to stone (stone)
Just leave me the f*ck alone (leave me the f*ck alone)
[Monologue]
I’d be lying if I said I knew what my purpose is
But at the same time
Residing in that uncertainty
Taking refuge in it
Like a log cabin in the middle of an unending woods
Can be peaceful
Maybe
