Say When

from Chime by Dessa

lyrics

Here in my paper crown
with a glass of flat champagne
I’d spar another round
but I’m the only one who’s still awake.
Oh, say when, say when.
And I’m headed towards the shallows.
Looks like I won again
another medal on the shelf
I guess my record stands
but I can’t quit until I play myself.
Oh, say when, say when.

I’m swinging on my shadow.

Oh say when, say when
Tell me
Oh say when, say when.

I can’t say what
would be enough
I’m not so sure
this is the good fight anymore.
To unlace is tough
with both hands in gloves
the good fight, the good fight anymore.

I don’t let go
I don’t give in
I don’t bow
I don’t bend
I won’t say no
I won’t say when
I fold for no one
And I, I always win

Oh say when, say when.
