if you never go Lyrics

Mama fell for an American man

Before she met my Persian dad

She drew hearts over her i's

Sang sweet songs about his smile

Until he tore her heartstrings out

Around twenty five

Walking down California streets

She could barely open up to breathe

Tried a smile at her old friend

A surfer boy with blonde split ends

Who wiped her tears on his surfboard and said

If you never go

If you never go

If you never go, you will never know

If you never go

If you never go

If you never go, you will never know

Mama tells me to open up

Sees I'm not scared of the Singles Club

She knows I'm open to love

But scared of broken trust

And I can't find it in me

To open up and welcome cuts

Drawing up several fantasies

Of dreamboats who would never leave

I stared down at the ink when

Mama started to speak with

Prudent eyes and white cheeks pink, she

Held my hand in both of hers and winked

If you never go

If you never go

If you never go, you will never know

If you never go

If you never go

If you never go, you will never know

"I see you've fallen for a English boy

When he sees you he beams with joy

Questions in your shaky hands

Answers in your solid plans

But don't be ruled by suspicion

Trust in your intuition"

If you never go

If you never go

If you never go, you will never know, no

If you never go

If you never go

If you never go, you will never know
