Turnin' My Back
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.
Right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back on you
A glimpse into your train of thought
Tied me to the tracks
Your misplaced sense of blame and justice
Should have been a sign
I think the hairspray's gone to your head
Well this whole episode I'd rather soon forget
Right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back on you
We never underestimate how long a second can feel
When every glance is a combat stance every word is a meal
I've been feeling this way for a while
Everything you lack you make up for in denial
Right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back on you
Stranded in the present tense
Convictions sitting on the fence
My gaze is skirting round the room
To avoid landing on you
Stranded in the present tense
Convictions sitting on the fence
My gaze is skirting round the room
To avoid, avoid landing on you
I think the hairspray's gone to your head
Well this whole episode I'd rather soon forget
Right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back
I said right now, I'm turnin' my back on you
