lyrics
You say to dream
You say the builder's in the skyline
And the flywheel's in the steam
So all the while I listen and I wait
For something to say
Easy to fly
The mechanics of emotion
Just an ocean passing by
Easier still to settle down and stare
At a screen somewhere
Still it's true a single turn could make the difference
And in the meantime I'll just watch the sun go down
Behind some passing cloud
And once again I'll save it for tomorrow
Another turn to turn it all around
I try to find
The way to some existence
Needing nothing more than time
But somehow I just tend to find my way
To more of the same
Still it's true a single turn could make the difference
And in the meantime I'll just watch the sun go down
Behind some passing cloud
And once again I'll save it for tomorrow
Another turn to turn it all around
Hell I don't wanna be the lighthouse to
Your dark and stormy bay
I'd rather be an ice cream
To your endless summer day
Let's forget about the weather
We'll just rough it out together
Won't need sunscreen or umbrellas
If we're going the right way
Yeah it's true a single turn could make the difference
And in the meantime I'll just watch the sun go down
Behind some passing cloud
And once again I'll save it for tomorrow
Another turn to turn it all around
You say the builder's in the skyline
And the flywheel's in the steam
So all the while I listen and I wait
For something to say
Easy to fly
The mechanics of emotion
Just an ocean passing by
Easier still to settle down and stare
At a screen somewhere
Still it's true a single turn could make the difference
And in the meantime I'll just watch the sun go down
Behind some passing cloud
And once again I'll save it for tomorrow
Another turn to turn it all around
I try to find
The way to some existence
Needing nothing more than time
But somehow I just tend to find my way
To more of the same
Still it's true a single turn could make the difference
And in the meantime I'll just watch the sun go down
Behind some passing cloud
And once again I'll save it for tomorrow
Another turn to turn it all around
Hell I don't wanna be the lighthouse to
Your dark and stormy bay
I'd rather be an ice cream
To your endless summer day
Let's forget about the weather
We'll just rough it out together
Won't need sunscreen or umbrellas
If we're going the right way
Yeah it's true a single turn could make the difference
And in the meantime I'll just watch the sun go down
Behind some passing cloud
And once again I'll save it for tomorrow
Another turn to turn it all around
