MY TURN?
Verse 1 I kept my face straight When they called your name I said the right thing I meant it halfway I’m not against you That’s not the part I’m just tired of clapping With my jaw locked hard I did the work twice I stayed in place I watched the loud ones Walk off with the praise I tell myself Don’t take it wrong Then take it wrong The whole way home Pre-Chorus I can be cool I can be fair I can act like I don’t care But I keep asking After it burns How many more Before it turns? Chorus When will it be my turn? I keep showing up first I watch them pick a name Then I rehearse my face When will it be my turn? I don’t want what’s yours I just want one time Where they don’t look past me When will it be my turn? When will it be my turn? Post-Hook I’m happy for you I hate that I am I’m happy for you I need a second I’m happy for you Don’t ask me again When will it be When will it be Verse 2 I got the almost I got the close I got the “next one” Nobody owes That’s what they tell me That’s what I say Then I keep count In a petty way I don’t want pity I don’t want a speech I just want the thing I keep watching leave I had my line ready I swallowed it down They called somebody I smiled somehow Pre-Chorus I can be cool I can be fair I can act like I don’t care But I keep asking After it burns How many more Before it turns? Chorus When will it be my turn? I keep showing up first I watch them pick a name Then I rehearse my face When will it be my turn? I don’t want what’s yours I just want one time Where they don’t look past me When will it be my turn? When will it be my turn? Bridge Don’t make me noble Don’t make me kind I’m doing my best But I’m not that nice I’ll clap when it happens I’ll mean it enough Then walk out normal And take it rough Final Chorus When will it be my turn? I keep showing up first I watch them pick a name Then I rehearse my face When will it be my turn? I don’t want what’s yours I just want one time Where they don’t look past me When will it be my turn? When will it be my turn? Outro I’m happy for you I hate that I am When will it be When will it be my turn?
