​slowthai Never Again

Tekst piosenki

[Intro: ​Ethan P. Flynn]
My shadow stayed on the wall
I walked away, I never thought I’d see you again
Twenty four hours passed, another day, oh my god
I never thought I’d see you again
When I was waiting for the penny to drop
I looked down and there you were
Stuck to my feet, you’re still with me
I never thought I’d see you again

[Verse 1: slowthai]
Seen your parents in the supermarket
They said „Hey, how you doin’?” „I’m good, thanks for askin'”
„How’s thingy doin’?” „Yeah, she’s pregnant and she’s arguin'”
„Screwin’, ’cause Stuart’s been out late partyin'”
„Who’s Stuart? Haven’t seen her in a while”
„It’s her baby dad, it’s kinda sad, he barely cracks a smile”
„You might know the lad, he’s big and bad, back from the Isle”
„The Isle of Sheppy? That boy must be wild”
Still got pictures on my phone
I still sleep on your side of the bed
I reflect on things I should forget
The things I should’ve said, I wish I did
The other day, I tried to look the other way
But you clocked me, eyes lockin’, I didn’t know what I should say
Yeah, she pushed a pram, like she pushed her men away
And she’s always aggravated, same exppression on her face
And she had the nerve to question me, and tell me that I’ve changed
And she said „You got the best of me and all you did was blame”
I laugh and say „Babe, please can you refrain”
She said „You think you’re special with your likkle man chain”
I was shocked, but I couldn’t be fucked
So I thought of my friends, and said „Baby, move on”
She said „I love you and I’m proud that you became”
„Everything you said you would before we was done”
„I know it don’t mean much, but you make me beam up”
„And I hope you get everything you ever dreamed of”
Taken aback, like a cat grabbed my tongue
Then she grabbed up the pram, and in the blink she was gone

[Bridge]
I walked away, I walked away
I walked away, I walked away
I walked away, I walked away

[Verse 2: slowthai]
I was in the barbers, listenin’ to the gossip
On the news a local girl was murdered by her husband
They had two kids, and they both had drug problems
Two seconds, didn’t register, then I felt worried
I hurried to my phone, butterflies in my stomach
I rang her older bro, we started screamin’, I said „What’s up?”
He couldn’t get the words, so I hung up, then I jumped up
I ran to the block, there was flowers on the shop front
I dropped to my knees, then I seen a pretty picture
The one she cut me out, that was still up on her Insta’
Winter Wonderland, eatin’ walnuts in December
Every day remember like the 5th of November

[Outro: slowthai]
Still got pictures on my phone
I still sleep on your side of the bed
I reflect on things I should forget
The things I should’ve said, I wish I did
Still got pictures on my phone
I still sleep on your side of the bed
I reflect on things I should forget
The things I should’ve said, I wish I did
I walked away
