The Shins - Turn On Me [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
You can fake it for a while
Bite your tongue and smile
Like every mother does an ugly child

But the stars are leaking out
Like spittle from a cloud
Amassed resentment pelting ounce and pound

[Pre-Hook 1]
You're 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 reigns
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way

[Verse 2]
So affections fade away
Or do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, repulsive games

On the faith of ruddy sons
And the 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

[Pre-Hook 2]
And the tears will 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've been so much more than fair
But then you'd have to lay those feelings bare

[Hook 1]
One thing I know still got you scared
Yeah all that cold ire and never once aired on a dare

[Pre-Hook 3]
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

[Hook 2]
Those old pious sisters were right
The worst part is over now get back on that horse and ride
