I Won't

from Loose Ends by Dave Stagner

/

about

This is a love song about nobody in particular, and everyone in general.

Written in 2014, I think.

lyrics

I won't climb Mount Everest
I won't ever do my best
I won't blow the Sphinx's nose
I won't love with both eyes closed
I won't crash into the Moon
I won't be your trial balloon
I won't get a second chance
To stumble through this lifelong dance
I won't vow silence
I won't vow chastity
But I might consider fasting for a while...

There are so many things that I won't do
Like I won't write this song about you

When I say I won't touch the cold of space
It's not about you
When I say I won't own the human race
It's not about you
When I swear I'll never get used to the smell of bullshit
It's not about you either
Why does every fucking thing have to be about you?
You you you you you

There are so many things that I won't do
Like I won't write this song about you

I won't ever turn and run
I won't steal except for fun
I won't travel back in time
I won't force this goddamned rhyme
I won't ever lock my door
I won't kick puppies anymore
I won't tell you who I am
Coz frankly, I don't give a damn
I won't surrender
I won't kill anyone
And I swear I won't act stupid when you smile

There are so many things that I won't do
Like I won't write this song about you
