Turn the Whole Room Around

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the kitchen chair The kettle clicked, but you weren't there I found your note beneath the blue glass bowl Two crooked lines that said, “Go lose control” [Pre-Chorus] So I took the long way past the corner store Let the good night pull me through the door [Chorus] Come on, turn the whole room around We’ve got a little life to spend right now Hands up, heels down, let the old day break Give me one more chance to feel awake Come on, turn the whole room around Leave that heavy heart outside this sound [Verse 2] Your friend in silver boots called out my name The bartender slid a lime across the frame We laughed about the train we nearly missed Then you came through the crowd and stole my wrist [Pre-Chorus] No big promise, no grand design Just your bright grin leaning into mine [Chorus] Come on, turn the whole room around We’ve got a little life to spend right now Hands up, heels down, let the old day break Give me one more chance to feel awake Come on, turn the whole room around Leave that heavy heart outside this sound [Bridge] If tomorrow wants an answer, let it wait There’s a paper moon above the fire escape You say, “Stay,” and I say, “Name the place” Then we take the last song at our own pace [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Come on, turn the whole room around We’ve got a little life to spend right now Hands up, heels down, let the old day break Give me one more chance to feel awake Come on, turn the whole room around Leave that heavy heart outside this sound [Outro] One more chance, one more round Turn the whole room around
