[Verse 1 — close and dry; short phrases over bass and rim clicks] Same bus Same corner Same red light I know the cracks along the curb I step across them every night [Pre-chorus — repeat as guitar builds; climb slightly] One more turn around the block One more turn around the block [Chorus — simple leap on "don't"; fuzz and live drums] I don't have to close the loop I can leave the gate undone Let the current find the ground I don't have to close the loop [Verse 2 — clipped cadence; guitar answers the pauses] Same coat Same pocket Same old key I stop beside the corner store And walk a street I haven't seen [Pre-chorus — first line restrained, second frayed] One more turn around the block Not this time around the block [Chorus — tuneful shout; bass moves beneath the hook] I don't have to close the loop I can leave the gate undone Let the current find the ground I don't have to close the loop [Bridge — half-time, low and conversational] No flash across the skyline No sign to tell me where Just a turn I never took before And unfamiliar air [Final chorus — band surges, then drops out for last hook] I don't have to close the loop I can leave the gate undone Let the current find the ground [Band drops out; lead vocal alone] I don't have to close the loop [Brief noisy full-band ending]
