Nobody Again

[Verse 1] So you woke up. So you remembered. So you found your name. And I knew this day was comin’ They always leave the same. I could keep you in the haze, I could blow one more leaf your way, But I love you too much to trap you, So I’ll point you to the bay. [Pre-Chorus] Go on, look at me. I’m not cruel. I’m just the hand That opens the door. And if my heart is loud, Let it be loud. I loved you well enough To lose you for. [Chorus] I’ll never love anybody Like I loved Nobody again. The soft ones and the sweet ones Come and they go, but then— There was one who stayed awhile, Forgot the whole world in my arms, And I’ll never love anybody Like I loved Nobody again. [Verse 2] I’ve kept a hundred travelers, Filled a hundred empty nights, But you’re the only one I hated To see walk toward the light. Go on, go home to your Penny, Go on and be somebody’s man, Just know a lonely woman on a hill Loved Nobody all she can. [Pre-Chorus] Here. The road to the water. The raft is set. The way is plain. I even packed you a sandwich— Don’t eat it near Circe’s, it’s cruel. (Well, I still have manners.) [Bridge] Go. Before I change my mind. Go while I’m bein’ brave. Nobody ever left me happy— But you You get to. Now go. Be saved. [Chorus] I’ll never love anybody Like I loved Nobody again. The soft ones and the sweet ones Come and they go, but then— There was one who stayed awhile, Forgot the whole world in my arms, And I’ll never love anybody Like I loved Nobody again. [Outro] For the first time, I sit in the clear air. No haze. No charm. No easy dark to hide in. I light my own porch. I learn my own name. And if I love again, I’ll know how to let it change me. I’ll never love anybody Like I loved Nobody again.
