[Intro – hushed spoken] Who put a hinge on the edge of the sky? I heard it swing when you walked by. [Verse 1] You came in laughing with a comet in your shoe, Said, “The whole wide universe is waiting on you.” I shook off the rules like a coat in July, And let that old gravity loosen its tie. [Chorus] Come on, let the planets turn, Give me a little room to burn. If the world says, “Stay in line,” I’ll take your hand and redraw the sign. [Verse 2] My heart’s a peculiar machine, darling, It stalls, it starts, then it sings without warning. You point to the moon like it owes us a dance, I answer with a grin and an extravagant chance. [Dream Section – soft, yearning] Stay here, where the hours come undone, Your voice makes a harbor of everyone. I’m only a question with nowhere to land— Then you touch my sleeve, and I understand. [Driving Section – shouted-sung] Break the frame! Shake the floor! Who are we waiting for? Take the fear, turn it wide— Let the strange thing inside us drive! [Reflective Section – intimate] When the grand parade has folded its flags, And the room goes quiet, and the daylight drags, I don’t need a throne, I don’t need a sign; Just your honest face turned toward mine. [Final Chorus] Come on, let the planets turn, Give me a little room to burn. If the world says, “Stay in line,” I’ll take your hand and redraw the sign. [Outro – fading ad-libs] Redraw the sign… You and me, outside the lines… Let it turn, let it turn…
