never going home

Maggie Rogers

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

There s old music playing, I can hear my friends saying
There s ten seconds till it s time to go
So I put on those old heeled boots, they ve been waiting
At the bottom of the closet alone

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
Never going home

Walk in and the world starts turning
I can t help 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

There s old music playing, I can hear my friend saying
You know it s time to go, go, go, go, go
Can you jump off a cliff? Find out that you can handle it
And time s got a way of letting you know

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

I m never going
I m never going home (alright)

You 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

I can t behave, but I don t wanna be alone
Oh, 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

Never, ever going home, never going home
I m never, ever going home, never going home
