I Don't Want to Go

It is the summer of 2010 I'm walking 'round the island
 The sun is glowing red and fading slow
 I am all alone with my old friend Psilocybin
 And that sun is blazing a brighter red than I've ever seen before
 And the woman that I love is working at the station
 And in two days from now, I'll leave again
 And it stops me in my tracks
 To feel a strange sensation
 That I've not felt since I don't remember when
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 It is late summer 1999
 And I just dropped off a friend of mine
 In the old car that I have but I do not own
 And there's a song called "Drifting"
 By Jimi Hendrix on my radio
 And the tears have never rained down quite as much as this before
 My job at the mall
 Pays me just fine
 And my room at the house is small but it's mine
 And in two weeks from now
 We'll all off go off to college
 Why now when everything was fine?
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go away and leave you here
 The days turn into weeks and years
 So soon, too soon before we know
 I don't want to go
 It is Christmas time of '84
 I'm watching the old video
 Of me, my brother and my mother
 Laughing on the couch
 And my father leaves the camera
 To get into the frame with us
 And my mother's holding all of us
 The way she always does
 Someday there'll be a last time
 That we are all together
 When it is I do not get to know
 But I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go away and leave you here
 The days turn into weeks and years
 So soon, too soon before we know
 And I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 It is the dawn of 2020
 I'm still working on my vision
 I'm still wishing for a love to call my own
 And I am healthy and I savor
 The fruits of all my labor
 Life is good these days
 Although I'm still alone
 And the woman that I love
 Is waiting for me somewhere
 And I have faith she's somewhere close to me now
 And I'm a sucker for a pretty face
 And more so for temptation
 And I'll miss the party but I should head on home for now
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go away and leave you here
 The days turn into weeks and years
 So soon, too soon before we know
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
 I don't want to go
