Turn It Down

There was nothing you could say to me
That would calm me down and put my mind to rest
Convince me things would get better
So I would lay in my bed all night
While my heart was typing letters in my chest
With more words than I could remember

I'll turn it down, turn it down!
'Til there's an answer
I'll turn it down, turn it down!
'Til there's an answer

With your father in the factory
And your mother making medicine for ghosts
A river flows into itself
You're blowing kisses out of sympathy
But you'll remember we weren't even all that close
A river frozen to itself

I'll turn it down, turn it down!
'Til there's an answer
'Til there's an answer

The graffiti on the overpass
Told a story about things that don't come true
And we drove by in relative silence
And you were always talking way too fast
And you said that was just something that you do
You talk fast when you're on an island
But when you mutter underneath your breath
I'd say, "would you say that one more time for me?"
And you'd say, "it isn't anything
Anything worth mentioning
Anything worth repeating"

I'll turn it down, turn it down!
'Til there's an answer
I'll turn it down, turn it down!
'Til there's an answer
