Turn a Square Songtext
von The Shins

She shown up bright like a knife
Wearing tennis shorts made of stripes
Hand in hand to the grass and we got it right
Got it nice, nice, nice

Just a glimpse of an ankle and I
React like it′s 1805
And I'd swim to the poles just to find the right satellite
It′ll take all of my strength to give up

'Cause you all know I tried
So forget about it, girl
My head's like a kite
When such a creature I sight


To town, where your feet leave no prints on the ground
Have I left my home just to whine in this microphone?
It gets worse every time that we talk,
Can′t afford to be just one in a flock
But that′s your lot when you're after such a well-made lock
Who was classically trained to give up

All my friends know I tried
So forget about it, girl
Even I don′t know why
I can't just stay the course, keep my hands on the wheel
Our detractors were right, my head′s like a kite

'Cause all my thoughts run astray
And I′m a walking cliché
When such a creature I sight

I just can't, I just can't, I just can′t stay the course
Keep my hands on the wheel
Our detractors were right
My head′s like a kite
