Don’t Wait Until 2016 to Try Therapy Lyrics by Luke Westaway

Basically Afloat

2019

[Verse 1]
Staring at the lock on the window
Pouring sweat, heart roaring like a jumbo jet
Blinking, blowing kisses
All the little superstitions
I really wanna touch it
To feel what I can plainly see: that it's locked
So I touch it
Oh God damn it now I've done it
Cause my interfering hands could well have loosened it
And wouldn't that be fate?
If it was really locked until I came along
So when the place burns down, the Police will say
"It's cause Luke did it wrong."
So I make another lap
Every window, every latch
And the gas hob, and the sockets
And the light-switches, and every single tap
[Verse 2]
Ten years of this compulsive behavior
Or thereabouts
Obsessive thoughts that I can't drown out
And I've been trying
But I'm shattered from denying
This isn't something I can't think away
[Verse 3]
So hey, I'm on the NHS website
Which is quite the wild ride
Cause this page is so relatable
But now I'm terrified
Cause I'm on this list of symptoms
Like " I do that and I do this"
The least healthy bit of me just sees the rest as a to-do list
[Verse 4]
So I seek professional help
And a professional helps
Feeling kinda dumb
Cause I waited for so long
I guess what I'm trying to say is
With the caveat that everyone's situation is unique and I can only speak authentically regarding the story that I personally have to tell:
Don't be proud, be well
