“Twist” finds the narrator musing over an old flame which is causing him insomnia and putting him in a bewildered state. The ironic twist is that as a result of his insomnia, he travels across the country without sleeping to seek his beloved.
[Verse 1]
One million miles from home
Crushing diamonds out of coal
Got lost in a vanilla sky
I’m lost in California time
Stuck in rotation 'till I close my eyes
Twist and turn throughout the night
[Chorus]
I’ve been wandering hopelessly lost in my own skin
Knowing nothing you say or bring could ever bridge this distance
If every bad dream is on account of me
Then I'll deconstruct every bond between us
[Verse 2]
Just hold on until the light shines through
This will all feel better when the morning comes
And we're not all tangled up
So when we both drift off to sleep
You can rest assured I’ll find you in your dreams
[Chorus]
I’ve been wandering hopelessly lost in my own skin
Knowing nothing you say or bring could ever bridge this distance
If every bad dream is on account of me
Then I'll deconstruct every bond between us
[Bridge]
Every bad dream is on account of me
Every bad dream is on account of me
I'll spend my life avoiding sleep
[Chorus]
I’ve been wandering hopelessly lost in my own skin
Knowing nothing you say or bring could ever bridge this distance
I’ve been wandering hopelessly lost in my own skin
Knowing nothing you say or bring could ever bridge this distance
If every bad dream is on account of me
Then I'll deconstruct every bond between us
