Turn On Me Lyrics - Wincing The Night Away - The Shins

You can fake it for a while 

Bite your tongue and smile 

Like every mother does her ugly child 

But it starts to leaking out 

Like spittle from a cloud 

Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound 

You entertaining any doubt 

Because you had to know that I was fond of you 

Fond of Y-O-U 

Though I knew you masked your disdain 

I can see that change was just too hard for us 

Hard for us 

You always had to hold the reins 

But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So affections fade away 

And do adults just learn to play the most ridiculous, repulsive games? 

All our favorite ruddy sons 

And their double-barreled guns 

You better hurry rabbit, run, run, run 

'Cause mincing you is fun 

And there's a lot of hungry hatters in this world 

Set on taking it over 

But brittle, thorny stems 

They break before they bend 

And neither one of us is one of them 

Photos 

And the tears'll never mend 

'Cause you had it in for me so long ago 

Boy, I still don't know 

I don't know why and I don't care 

Well hardly anymore 

If you'd only seen yourself hating me 

Hating me 

When I'd been so much more than fair 

But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare 

The one thing I know has still got you scared 

Yeah all that cold ire 

And never once aired on a dare 

You had to know that I was fond of you 

Fond of Y-O-U 

So I took your licks at the time 

And a change like that is just so hard to do 

Hard to do 

Don't let it whip-crack your life 

And I'll bow out from the fight 

Those old pious sisters were right 

The worst part is over 

Now, get back on that horse and ride
