Turn Your Head
Yearning Echoes: Craving to Turn Hearts in a Crowded Dance
Lyrics
I'm moving through the crowd, I walk on eggshells
I'm navigating through a crowd with caution, feeling uneasy
I can spot him laughing as somebody yells
I notice him laughing while someone shouts
And he tilts his head back at some old joke that Colin told
He tilts his head back at an old joke told by Colin
And I could have sworn he never would have showed
I was surprised because I thought he wouldn't appear
So I stop down by the bar and grab my drink
I stop at the bar to get a drink for contemplation
Yeah I need some fuel to help me sit and think
I need fuel to help me think
But all I can remember is what I used to have
All I can recall is what I used to have
And babe I want to turn your head so bad
I want desperately to capture your attention
I want to turn your head so bad
Repetition of the desire to turn his head
I want to turn your head so bad
-I want to turn your head so bad
-I want to turn your head
-It’s funny how a man can make you weak
Reflecting on how a man can make one feel vulnerable
With one look it’s like I forgot how to breathe
With a single look, I forget how to breathe
And I can’t believe I’m aching up inside
Feeling emotional pain inside, longing for his presence
Thinking man I want him back in my life
Yearning for him to be back in my life
And he knows exactly how he makes me feel
Awareness of how he affects my emotions
It’s like a skip on some old rusty movie reel
Comparing emotions to a glitch in an old movie reel
And with each go round I fall a little bit harder
With each repetition, falling more deeply for him
Yeah I’d like to think I got a little bit smarter
Believing I've gained wisdom from the experience
And I want to turn your head so bad
Expressing the strong desire to capture his attention
I want to turn your head so bad
-I want to turn your head so bad
-I want to turn your head
-So that whiskey warms me down to my bones
Whiskey provides confidence, warming me to my core
With this confidence I could never be alone
Feeling empowered and never wanting to be alone
But I’m staring at myself across bar
Seeing a reflection of myself across the bar
And all I see’s a girl who’s gone too fucking far
Realizing I've gone too far in my actions
And I dream of busting into that place
Dreaming of making a bold entrance with makeup and heels
With high heels and some makeup on my face
Feeling anger rising as I grip my stool
But I grip my stool as I start to feel mad
Reiteration of the intense desire to turn his head
And all I can think is that I want to
-Turn your head so bad
-I want to turn your head so bad
-I want to turn your head so bad
-I want to turn your head
Reaffirmation of the burning desire to capture his attention
