Maggie Rogers
Never Going Home
[Verse 1]
Smooth out the lines on my face in the mirror
And think about where I'm gonna go
Put on my red lipstick like a hero
And swallow the fear down my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
There's old music playing, I can hear my friends saying
"There's ten seconds 'til it's time to go"
So I put on those old heeled boots, they've been waiting
At the bottom of the closet alone
[Chorus]
I can't behave
But I don't wanna be alone, but
You kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going home
[Post-Chorus]
Nеver going home
[Verse 2]
Walk in and the world starts turning
I can't hеlp looking for you at the bar
Catch a glimpse of someone with kind eyes dancing
Whose jacket's the same color as the seats in your car
[Pre-Chorus]
There's old music playing, I can hear my friends saying
"You know it's time to go, go, go, go, go"
Can you jump off the cliff? I know that you can handle it
And time's got a way of letting you know
[Chorus]
I can't behave
But I don't wanna be alone, but
You kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going
I can't believe
That you'd rather be on your own, but
You kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going
[Post-Chorus]
Home, never going
Home, never going home
(Alright)
[Bridge]
We get to talking, but those lips aren't your lips
We lean together, those hips aren't your hips
When we're out in the back and I'm catching my breath
I close my eyes to forget all the rest, oh
[Chorus]
I can't behave
But I don't wanna be alone, no
You kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going
I can't believe
That you'd rather be on your own
But you kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going home
[Outro]
Never, ever going home, never going home
I'm never, ever going home, never going home
