You were a dan cer,
you lived for the mo ment
That's how your world went around
I had no answers, my life was in torment
Till you turned it all upside down
I'd sit in the shadows,
you'd spin in the sunlight
Time after time we'd return
You knew I was sad,
so you often would stop
And hold me when I came to watch
you turn
Almost to summer,
the winter was broken
Columbine cluttered the field
Lost me from under
Twilight we'd run there
Your arms would fly open,
we'd twirl until everything free
But everything changed once
again in September
What will it take till I learn
The color of pain is so hard to call
But that's what I felt when I saw
you turn
Open, the heart's an unstoppable
wheel
Closed in,
it hardens like copper and steel
You were a dan cer,
you lived in slow motion
That's how your world went around
I had a bad year, I fell in the ocean
And thought I would probably drown
But you've turned the corner,
I'm still on some highway
Crossing a bridge I should burn
I pull into nowhere and lie here awake
Wondering how I could have
made you turn
You turn
You turn
You turn you
