The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The sight of ferris wheels and bright lights

Gets me all rallied up

You know I'll be there

And amongst a million people, I see your face and you walk by

(Don't turn around)

I'm forced to see you

But deep down I love it

So far away, but

I still see you coming, alright

Hopefully we run into each other

You just never know

We might dance slow

At somebody's wedding that we used to know

At a picture show, at a funeral

You're two rows behind me and it's hard to not turn around

(Bringing up the past starts a real big fire)

(Make a girl fly like a bird on a wire)

Don't turn around

(Bringing up the past starts a real big fire)

(Make a girl fly like a bird on a wire)

I love this time of year, the night lights look like the Fourth of July

Not quite America, but bright enough for me to see you in the crowd

Small enough for me to watch you walk on by

It's pressure on my eyes

(Don't turn around)

I'm forced to see you

But deep down I love it

So far away, but

I still see you coming, alright

Let it go

Hopefully we run into each other

You just never know

We might dance slow

At somebody's wedding that we used to know

At a picture show, at a funeral

You're two rows behind me and it's hard to not turn around

(Bringing up the past starts a real big fire)

(Make a girl fly like a bird on a wire)

Don't turn around

(Bringing up the past starts a real big fire)

(Make a girl fly like a bird on a wire)

Oh, something good better come out of this

I don't even know how to exist

Like it or not, I'm a minute away

Swallow my tongue and it hurts every day

Wearing the jacket you bought in '06

How do you keep it together like this

Never again, I'm a nervous wreck

Please don't repeat anything that I said

I'm forced to see you

But deep down I love it

So far away, but

I still see you coming, alright

Let it go, let it go

Hopefully we run into each other

You just never know

We might dance slow

At somebody's wedding that we used to know

At a picture show, at a funeral

You're two rows behind me and it's hard to not turn around

(Bringing up the past starts a real big fire)

(Make a girl fly like a bird on a wire)

Don't turn around

(Bringing up the past starts a real big fire)

(Make a girl fly like a bird on a wire)

Let it go, let it go

Let it go, let it go
