The Shins - Turna Square lyrics

rate me

she shone 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

but 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 you're 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

and 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
