[Verse 1] I kept a crooked little compass In the lining of my coat It points to every place I stumbled Still it gets me where I’m going [Pre-Chorus] No need to sand the needle smooth No need to hide the bent-up frame I’ll read the marks and take them with me Every flaw can bear my name [Chorus] Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!) Carry the crack! (Carry the crack!) I’m not a copy of a map I’m taking every angle forward Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!) No looking back! (No looking back!) The crooked points still chart a path I’m taking every angle forward [Verse 2] Some roads curl like question marks Some answers came in chipped enamel I leave the dents there in the brass They catch the light when I travel [Pre-Chorus] I won’t mistake a scar for failure Or call the weather my design The needle shakes, the hand keeps moving There is room for all of mine [Chorus] Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!) Carry the crack! (Carry the crack!) I’m not a copy of a map I’m taking every angle forward Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!) No looking back! (No looking back!) The crooked points still chart a path I’m taking every angle forward [Bridge] Let the dial swing wide Let the old lines bend I can start from here And still begin again [Final Chorus] Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!) Carry the crack! (Carry the crack!) I’m not a copy of a map I’m taking every angle forward Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!) No looking back! (No looking back!) The crooked points still chart a path I’m taking every angle forward [Outro] Every angle forward
