Lyrics
TURN ON A DIME
I fell in love when you said goodbye.
Fell in the dark and discovered light
That's the hopeful eye that never closes.
I lost control when I found my heart
The leading man with a minor part.
How the wheels turned, and ran me over
And in my head tonight, A million thoughts go by
Can't turn them off, can't turn them on a dime
The manic waves pull me in and out.
The tide is high for this sinking boat
If I dive right in, will I stop drowning?
The white noise ends when I start to try.
Living the truth, killing all my lies.
When the day is done, have I begun,
to open up? It's so hard to do
And in my head tonight, A million thoughts collide
Can't turn them off, can't turn them on a dime
Until I learn to speak, these thoughts are mountain peaks
Maybe I'll meet you on the other side, of dreams tonight
I lost control, and fell in love, I learned to speak
And from my mouth tonight, A million words decide
The future, past and present all at once
And in my head tonight. The sweetest thoughts go by
Can't turn them off, Don't even want to try
They suit me fine, Can't turn my love on a dime
