All this welcome attention
Is leaving me cold
Everyone says it's perfect
But that's what they're sold
It's not that I've been saturated
It's not that I've lost my pace
It's really not that complicated
I think that I've lost my place

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home

No one here has a purpose
Despite what they say
Taken more than my fair share
And thrown it away
It's not that I'm intoxicated
I used to be in the race
Must keep my head above water
Or sink without trace

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home

Appreciate every moment
Take from those moments everything that you can
You may never be able to experience it again
Talk to people that you have never talked to before
And actually listen
Let yourself fall in love
Break free and set your sights high
Hold your head up because you have every right to
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself
For if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself
For if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home

Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home
