An Incentive to Labor: Dinosaur Jr., "Start Choppin'" (1993)

[Jeffrey Rubard]

There's no going back to that
I'm so numb, can't even react
Didn't say it's not okay
But we aren't feeling the same way

I ain't telling you a secret
I ain't telling you goodbye

It is the last thing on my mind
Still you won't let things unwind
Spinning tight around your head
Can't you hear a word I said

I ain't telling you a secret
I ain't telling you goodbye

When you call it's just not fair
It's the last thing you should share
If I can't deal; I'll let you know
Still I wish you'd let it go

I ain't telling you a secret
I ain't telling you goodbye

I'm telling you for one last time
It's not just you; the problem is mine to hide
I waited as long as I could if you need it, sure
I would, that's fine

Well, there's no going back to that
So numb can't even react
Didn't say it's not ok
But we aren't dealing the same way

I ain't telling you a secret
I ain't telling you goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

I'm telling you for one last time
It's not just you; the problem is mine to hide
I waited as long as I could if you need it
Sure I would, that's fine
I'm taking away a lot of stuff
I'm telling you it's rough but not goodbye
