about

The first single of Prince's new album, Simple Swimmer, dropped in May 2020. It is a song about simply not feeling good anymore but trying not to show it.

lyrics

Oh wait I will, I still perceive most things positively though I should not, though I should not. I reminisced at twenty-six as though I fathered men older than I. Oh, I'm living to die. Oh but to save face I will keep it on the shelf that I don't feel good, don't feel good anymore. Oh man, as often as I have these thoughts I never seem to do a thing, to do a thing. I'm waiting on the sun to rise and open up my eyes to a new home where I'm not so alone. Oh, but to save face, I will keep it on the shelf that I don't feel good, don't feel good anymore. My feelings are all for sale. I'm just righteous enough to fail. But I keep riding on the crooked rail. Oh, but to save face, I will keep it on the shelf that I don't feel good, don't feel good anymore.​
