Smooth out the lines on my face in the mirror
And think about where I'm gonna go
Put on my red lipstick like a hero
And swallow the fear down my throat

There's old music playing, I can hear my friends saying
"There's ten seconds 'til it's time to go"
So I put on those old heeled boots, they've been waiting
At the bottom of the closet alone

I can't behave, but I don't wanna be alone
But you kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home
Never going home
Never going home

Walk in and the world starts turning
I can't help looking for you at the bar
Catch a glimpse of someone with kind eyes, dancing
Whose jacket's the same color as the seats in your car

There's old music playing, I can hear my friend saying
"You know it's time to go, go, go, go, go"
Can you jump off a cliff? Find out that you can handle it
And time's got a way of letting you know

I can't behave, but I don't wanna be alone
But you kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going
I can't believe that you'd rather be on your own
But you kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going

I'm never going
I'm never going home (alright)

You get to talking, but those lips aren't your lips
We lean together, those hips aren't your hips
When we're out in the back and I'm catching my breath
I close my eyes to forget all the rest, oh

I can't behave, but I don't wanna be alone
Oh, you kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going
I can't believe that you'd rather be on your own
But you kept me waiting
Now I'm never, ever going home, never going home

Never, ever going home, never going home
I'm never, ever going home, never going home
