Текст песни Turn On Me - The Shins

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 counting ounce and pound

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 reins

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

So affections fade away
And 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 meeting you was fun
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell

We′re taking it over
Their brittle, thorny stems

They break before they bend
And neither one of us is one of them
And the tails 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
You don′t hide me anymore
If you'd only seen yourself hating me
Hating me

When I′ve been so much more than fair
But then you had to lay those feelings bare
One thing I know still got you scared

You're all that cold iron
And never once aired of our dead
You had to know that I was fond of you
Fond of Y-O-U
So I took your lips at the time
And to change like that is just so hard to do
Hard to do
Don't let it whip-crack your life
And bow out from the fight
′Cause oh, how your sisters will write
The worst part is over
Now, get back on that horse and ride
