I Don't, I Won't Front Cover

Lyric

I Don't, I Won't

Dan Vale

You say, “don’t wait up”

Okay—

I leave the hall light on anyway

2:13

Your name on my screen

No “hello”

Just, “can you come get me?”

Keys, coat

Down the stairs

Rain on the glass

I don’t even care

You don’t gotta tell me

What went wrong

Send me the pin—

I’m already gone

No questions in the car

You can breathe

You can fall apart

Everybody loves you

When you’re easy

I love you

When you’re hard to reach

When the whole city goes quiet

And you don’t know where to go

Call me

Call me

I know the way home

Red lights

Rain lines

2 A.M., still I drive

If everybody leaves you—

I don’t

I won’t

Come cold

Come broken

Come with things you’ve never spoken

I don’t need

The best of you

I want all of you

If everybody leaves you—

I don’t

I won’t

Bad mood

Bad week

You don’t even gotta speak

Hair tied

Eyes red

Take my jacket, lean your head

You can change your number

Change your plans

Change the whole damn life

You thought you had

Take six months

Take the long way ’round

I’ll know your knock

When I hear that sound

[Pre-Chorus]

You don’t have to shine for me

Don’t clean it up

Don’t make it pretty

Everybody wants you

When you’re glowing

I want you

When nobody’s looking

When the whole city goes quiet

And you don’t know where to go

Call me

Call me

I know the way home

Red lights

Rain lines

2 A.M., still I drive

If everybody leaves you—

I don’t

I won’t

Come cold

Come broken

Come with things you’ve never spoken

I don’t need

The best of you

I want all of you

If everybody leaves you—

I don’t

I won’t

Maybe one day

We lose the apartment

Lose the money

Lose the plans

Maybe you wake up

And you don’t recognize

The life inside your hands

Fine

Give me the keys

We’ll drive

Till the street signs change

I never fell in love

With where we were

I fell in love

With your name

So go ahead—

Get lost

Get scared

Get tired

Get mad

Just don’t ever think

You’ve got nowhere to land

When the whole damn world goes quiet

And there’s nowhere left to go

Call me

Call me

I’ll bring you home

No map

No headlights

I’d know that road with closed eyes

If everybody leaves you—

I don’t

I won’t

Come late

Come shattered

Come like nothing fucking matters

I don’t need

The best of you

I never fucking wanted to

I want all of you

If everybody leaves you—

I don’t

I won’t

I don’t

I won’t

You said

“don’t wait up”

I didn’t

I came and got you
