Can't Come Back - Kevin Garrett

Let’s focus

On the story the way it unfolded

Like the laundry we aired then we coped with

There’s not much left to spare if it’s broken

But there’s a lot written down

Please show me

How I’m not another verse in your poem

I don’t have to be awake to decode it

'Cause the fabric’s only thread til' you sew it

And there’s a lot laying around

Don’t wanna waste your time

Running through the back of my mind

This happens every night

I keep on saying I’m fine

But

Days get longer, oh, the farther I count

While my dreams are hardly drowning you out

And I swear, we can’t fix something we cannot figure out

But I’ll know it, and you’ll know it

When it all settles down

But we can’t come back now

Don’t bother

Every now and again, I get caught up

Are we done at the end of this bottle?

I’ll know I’m close when my friends call it a problem

And that’s when I’ll come around

Don’t wanna waste your time

Running through the back of your mind

This happens every night

I keep on saying I’m fine

But

Days get longer, oh, the farther I count

While my dreams are hardly drowning you out

And I swear, we can’t fix something we cannot figure out

But I’ll know it, and you’ll know it

When it all settles down

But we can’t come back now

We can’t come back now

We can’t come back now

(It was you, it was you)

We can’t come back now

We can’t come back now

(And that’s when, when I woke up)

(Show me now)

We can’t come back now

(Show me now)

We can’t come back now

(Show me now)

We can’t come back now
