Never Go Back Lyrics

You running around in circles
But you won’t find no better than this
And after all your searching
You come back to the place that you missed
But I’m closing up for the season
I see you out there, you’re freezing
But I’m never letting you back in again

Oh no, oh no
I’ll never go back there no more
Oh no, oh no
I’ll never go back there no more

Looking at my heart beat
Like I’ve never seen it before
Too alive to ever sleep
And this street is keeping me warm
I’m pushing up on the ceiling
I’m beating back all my demons
And I’m never letting you back in again

Oh no, oh no
I’ll never go back there no more
Oh no, oh no
I’ll never go back there no more

I can’t take it no more
These scratches on my soul
I can’t, and I’ll never let you near my heart again

Oh no, oh no
I’ll never go back there no more
Oh no, oh no
I’ll never go back there no more
I’ll never never never never go back no more

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This could apply to Darren Shan when he first started drinking human blood after a friend got killed by the wolf man. After he did that, he retained the friend's memories, but he had had nightmares about it for a while afterward. He now knows that he can never go back to being a human and must remain a dhamphir until he becomes a full vampire, and then he will be that way until he dies and stays dead.
