lyrics
Moving through the crowd I walk on eggshells
I can spot him laughing as somebody yells
And he tilts his head back at some old joke that Colin told
And I could have sworn he never would have showed
So I stop down by the bar and grab my drink
Yeah I need some fuel to help me sit and think
But all I can remember is what I used to have
And babe I want to turn your head so bad
I want to turn your head so bad
It’s funny how a man can make you weak
With one look it’s like I forgot how to breath
And I can’t believe I’m aching up inside
And thinking man I want him back in my life
And he knows exactly how he makes me feel
It’s like a skip on some old rusty movie reel
And with each go round I fall a little bit harder
Yeah I’d like to think I got a little bit smarter
But I want to turn your head so bad
So that whiskey warms me down to my bones
With this confidence I could never be alone
But I’m staring at myself across bar
And all I see’s a girl who’s gone too fucking far
And I dream of busting into that place
With high heels and some makeup on my face
But I grip my stool as I start to feel mad
And all I can think is that I want to turn your head so bad
And I want to turn your head so bad
I can spot him laughing as somebody yells
And he tilts his head back at some old joke that Colin told
And I could have sworn he never would have showed
So I stop down by the bar and grab my drink
Yeah I need some fuel to help me sit and think
But all I can remember is what I used to have
And babe I want to turn your head so bad
I want to turn your head so bad
It’s funny how a man can make you weak
With one look it’s like I forgot how to breath
And I can’t believe I’m aching up inside
And thinking man I want him back in my life
And he knows exactly how he makes me feel
It’s like a skip on some old rusty movie reel
And with each go round I fall a little bit harder
Yeah I’d like to think I got a little bit smarter
But I want to turn your head so bad
So that whiskey warms me down to my bones
With this confidence I could never be alone
But I’m staring at myself across bar
And all I see’s a girl who’s gone too fucking far
And I dream of busting into that place
With high heels and some makeup on my face
But I grip my stool as I start to feel mad
And all I can think is that I want to turn your head so bad
And I want to turn your head so bad
