I Don’t Bounce Back Lyrics by Luke O’Shea

Different Drum

2024

[Intro]
Woo

[Verse 1]
Well, standing here between the lost and the found
Mm, do I head home or do I buy another round?
Well, I was just popping in on a Tuesday night
When a little devil says it'll be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
See, the mind is willing, but the body's not able
'Cause later on, I'll be dancing on the table
I can't slow down when I'm having fun
And that devil keeps telling me I'm twenty-one
Twenty-one, twenty-one

[Chorus]
But I don't bounce back
Like the way I used to do
No, I don't bounce back
I'm no longer bulletproof
For I've learnt that thеre are things that send mе wacko
Like mixing dip up in tequila and tobacco
I'll never know how or why or when
'Til it's never again, never again, never again, no, no, no, no
'Cause I don't bounce back

[Verse 2]
Now, the first few drinks go down so easy
Where I think I'm pretty funny but I get bit sleazy (We've all seen it)
Busting out the lines and the moves think I'm like I'm George Clooney
Mm, but everybody knows it, I'm just a freakin' looney

[Pre-Chorus]
And now it's last drinks called at quarter to four
It's the same old lesson that I've learnt before
Tomorrow, I'll reap the seeds I've sown
But until then, it's just one for the road
One for the road, one for the road

[Chorus]
But I don't bounce back
Like the way I used to do
No, I don't bounce back
I'm no longer bulletproof
Well, it's a long way off back into the saddle
Guilt and regret is more than I can handle
I'll never know how or why or when
'Til it's never again, never again, never again, no, no, no, no
'Cause I don't bounce back

[Post-Chorus]
Mm, like the way I used to
No, no-no, no, no
Oh, oh-oh
Woo

[Bridge]
Oh, burning those bridges with calls and text-es
Harassing old bosses and the pissed off exes
All my exes in Texas

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't bounce back
Like the way I used to do
No, I don't bounce back
Well, I'm no longer bulletproof
Well, over the years, you're supposed to get wiser
Putting those wild days behind you
But I know it's only a matter of when
I'll say never again, never again, never again, no, no, no, no
'Cause I don't bounce back

[Post-Chorus]
Mm, like the way I used to do
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, I don't bounce back
Mm, I don't bounce back

[Outro]
Well, standing here between the lost and the found
Mm, do I head home or do I buy another round?
Tequila, ay-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
