Turn It Down Songtext
There was nothing you could say to me

That would calm me down and put my mind to rest

Convince me things would get better



So I would lay in my bed all night
While my heart was tied to letters in my chest

With more words than I could remember



I'll turn it down, turn it down

Til there's an answer

I'll turn it down, turn it down

Til there's an answer



With you father in the factory

And your mother making medicine for ghosts
A river flows into itself



You're blowin kisses out of sympathy

But you'll remember we weren't even all that close

Like a river frozen to itself



I'll turn it down, turn it down

Til there's an answer

Til there's an answer



The graffiti on the overpass

Told a story about things that don't come true

And we drove by in relative silence



And you were always talking way too fast

And you said that was just something that you do

You talk fast when you're on an island



But when you mutter underneath your breath

I say would you say that one more time for me

And you'd say it isn't anything

Anything worth mentioning

Anything worth repeating



I'll turn it down, turn it down

Til there's an answer

I'll turn it down, turn it down

Til there's an answer
