[00:04.00]The Shins - Turn On Me
[00:21.37]You can fake it for a while,
[00:22.77]Bite your tongue and smile,
[00:24.81]Like every mother does an ugly child.
[00:27.71]But the stars are leaking out,
[00:30.37]Like spittle from a cloud,
[00:32.03]Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound.
[00:35.77]You re entertaining any doubt,
[00:38.15]Because you had to know that I was fond of you,
[00:41.81]Fond of Y-O-U,
[00:44.06]Though I knew you masked your disdain.
[00:47.90]I can see that change was just too hard for us,
[00:53.99]Hard for us.
[00:56.50]You always had to hold the reigns,
[01:00.68]But where I m headed, you just don t know the way.
[01:03.85]So affections fade away,
[01:08.87]And do adults just learn to play
[01:10.66]The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
[01:12.91]On the faith of ruddy sons,
[01:16.72]And the double-barreled guns,
[01:18.50]You better hurry,
[01:19.68]Rabbit, run, run, run.
[01:21.88] Cause meeting you was fun,
[01:24.81]And there s a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell.
[01:29.69]We’re taking it over,
[01:30.87]Their brittle, thorny stems,
[01:32.40]They break before they bend,
[01:34.28]And neither one of us is one of them.
[01:38.35]And the tails will never mend,
[01:40.35]‘Cause you had it in for me so long ago.
[01:45.37]Boy, I still don t know,
[01:47.25]I don t know why and I don t care,
[01:49.60]You don t hide me anymore,
[01:56.50]If you d only seen yourself hating me.
[01:59.36]Hating me,
[02:00.04]When I ve been so much more than fair.
[02:01.89]But then you had to lay those feelings bare,
[02:05.08]One thing I know still got you scared,
[02:09.79]You re all that cold iron,
[02:12.30]And never once aired of our dead.
[02:17.02]
[02:51.74]You had to know that I was fond of you,
[02:56.24]Fond of Y-O-U.
[02:58.83]So I took your lips at the time,
[03:01.15]And to change like that is just so hard to do,
[03:07.21]Hard to do.
[03:09.97]Don t let it whip-crack your life,
[03:13.83]And bow out from the fight,
[03:16.77]‘Cause oh, how your sisters will write.
[03:20.99]The worst part is over,
[03:24.30]Now, get back on that horse and ride.
