All Right Turns (ORIGINAL)

Let’s watch the headlamps Floating out across the lake Between the branches of the trees Existing only in between The obstructions That split the beams in threes and fours Dividing time up like a prize Leaving room for you and I In the dark spaces of the night to rewrite And with all right turns we might find Some space to wander through the questions in our minds A little more time to pause and rewind Was it a left turn when it shoulda been a right? It’s thoughts of this kind That keep me turnin’ through the night The clouds look weightless As if the cumulus collected Animations of the world To project back down to earth A cartoon horizon As the sun glints off of the surface The water’s choppy, I suppose It’s just reflecting what it knows The possibility of lost control CHORUS It’s not delusion To believe in something more Than you can hold up to the light Examine it for signs of life, and Unsettled reasons That keep us circling the drain Of our excuses for the way We’re built for tolerating weight Instead of flourishing on rainy days And with all right turns we might find Some space to wonder through the questions on our minds A little more time to pause and rewind Accept the reroutes while we’ve still got the time It’s thoughts of this kind That keep me churnin’ through It’s thoughts of this kind That keep me yearnin’ through It’s thoughts of this kind That keep me turnin’ through the night
