[Intro]
[Violin sings alone
Soft and shaky]
[Verse 1]
Alarm on the table
I kill it
Then I crawl back down
Same old excuse in my pillow
"I’ll start when life calms down"
Stare at the shirt from last summer
Fit me like a second skin
Now it hangs there like a rumor
Of the shape I used to live in
[Chorus]
I’m tryin’ to turn this body around
One small step
Two feet on the ground
Breath in my lungs
Heart beating loud
I don’t want perfect
I just want proud
I’m tryin’ to turn this body around
(turn it around, turn it around)
[Verse 2]
Shoes by the door in the evening
I lace ‘em like a quiet dare
Every heavy step on the sidewalk
Drives a crack through my old despair
Pass the bar on the corner
Hear the laughter spill outside
I just tighten up my headphones
Let the sweat wash out my pride
[Chorus]
I’m tryin’ to turn this body around
One small step
Two feet on the ground
Breath in my lungs
Heart beating loud
I don’t want perfect
I just want proud
I’m tryin’ to turn this body around
(turn it around, turn it around)
[Bridge]
Some days I’m stumbling
Some days I’m strong
But every shaky push forward
Is a line through what was wrong
[Chorus]
I’m tryin’ to turn this body around
Choose one drink less
One mile more now
Sleep through the night
Mind settling down
I don’t want flawless
I just want now
I’m tryin’ to turn this body around
(turn it around, turn it around)
I’m gonna turn this body around
