Probably the most sophisticated track on the album, this track shares about a drug experience that includes a high and a comedown, as James Blake shared. It’s the start of what seems to be a trip to inside the genius behind this album.
[Intro]
(-dance with a knot?)
(That's a real sign)
[Chorus]
Wherever I go
I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine
Wherever I go
I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine (Good if you're mine)
[Post-Chorus]
-dance with a knot?
That's a real sign
Are you gonna untie those knots?
Why won't you dance with a knot?
I hope I'm making sense to you
[Refrain]
Where are my wings?
They're loading
They're loading
They're loading
Where are my wings?
They're loading
I'm still loading (Wherе they at?)
I'm still loading (Where thеy at?)
Pull back my fringe
Exposing
Exposing
Exposing
There's something you should know
[Pre-Chorus]
Wherever I go, I'm only
Wherever I go, I'm only
Wherever I go, I'm only
Wherever I go, I'm only (Are you gonna untie those knots?)
Wherever I go, I'm only (Why won't you dance with a knot?)
Wherever I go, I'm only
Wherever I go, only
Where-I-go
[Chorus]
Wherever I go
I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine
Wherever I go
I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine (Good if you're mine)
[Post-Chorus]
-dance with a knot?
That's a real sign
Are you gonna untie those knots?
Why won't you dance with a knot?
I hope I'm making sense to you (That's a real sign)
[Refrain]
Where are my wings?
They're loading
They're loading
They're loading
Where are my wings? (Load-)
They're loading
I'm still loading (Where they at?)
I'm still loading (Where they at?)
Pull back my fringe
Exposing
Exposing
Exposing
There's something you should know (Wherever I go)
[Chorus]
Wherever I go
I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine
Wherever I go
I'm only as good as my mind
Which is only good if you're mine
Which is only good if you're mine (Good if you're mine)
[Outro]
Why won't you dance with a knot?
That's a real sign
