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 gets 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
I’ll be done at the end of this bottle
I 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 gets 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

My way is your way out
You’ll stay, I’ll still fade out
Last line is my wake up
Lost time, it’s all made up
