[Verse 1: Amos Pizzey]
No I, no I, no I, no I, no I
No, I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to get high
But even as my heartbeat screams out loud
Sunlight breaks like glass in my eyes
Where are all the people? Where have they all gone?
The ones that said forever
We were going to carry on
Now I'm chilled, cold alone
There's an aching in my bones
I try to dial the number but I can't pick up the phone
I've got to reach out, touch somebody, anyone
Or stare point blank down the barrel of a gun
I kill a man stone dead for a shot of valium
But that ain't no place to hide
You know there ain't no place to run

[Pre-Chorus 1: Amos Pizzey]
There's a darkness in my soul
There's a darkness in my soul
There's a darkness in my soul
There's a darkness in my soul
There's a darkness in my soul
There's a darkness in my soul
And I know it's gonna come
[Chorus: Gavin Rossdale]
'Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need, now
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

[Verse 2: Amos Pizzey]
Now me, now me, now me, now me, now me
Now me, myself and I have to sit and work it out
There's nothing to be sure of 'cause my heart is full of doubt
Where I'm going, where I've been
Who I've loved and who I've lost
It was such a wicked high but there was such a wicked cost
Big nightlife scene, hedonism extreme
It only takes a line to make a nightmare from a dream
With every fear intensified, every problem analyzed
God and the Devil through the same pair of eyes

[Pre-Chorus 2: Amos Pizzey]
If I hold on, I can make it
If I hold out, I can make it
If I hold on, I can make it
If I hold out, I can make it
If I hold on, I can make it
If I hold out, I can make it
If I hold on, I can make it
And I know it's gonna come
[Chorus: Gavin Rossdale]
'Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need, now
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

'Cause I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need, now
I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time

[Outro: Gavin Rossdale]
I don't wanna come back down (soul, soul, soul, soul)
I don't wanna come back down (soul, soul, soul, soul)
I don't wanna come back down (soul, soul, soul, soul)
I don't wanna come back down (soul, soul, soul, soul)
