[Intro] Tick-tick, turn the room around One small spark in a paper town [Verse 1] You drew a map on a receipt With a blue pen, crooked street Said, “Take the shortcut past the store Where the old clock skips one more” I kept the corner in my sleeve Like a dare I could believe [Pre-Chorus] When the minute hand slips And the whole plan quits You look over, I look back We make a new track [Chorus] Flip the little switch, let it misbehave We can make a mess into a wave Round and round, then we break the frame Say my name, say my name Flip the little switch, let the colors run Make a new rule just to bend it for fun If the world goes left, we can turn the same Say my name, say my name [Verse 2] At the corner shop, you bought two pears We split one on the station stairs Your sleeve was marked with printer ink You said, “Don’t ask me what I think” Then laughed so hard you missed the train We took the long way home again [Pre-Chorus] When the minute hand slips And the whole plan quits You look over, I look back We make a new track [Chorus] Flip the little switch, let it misbehave We can make a mess into a wave Round and round, then we break the frame Say my name, say my name Flip the little switch, let the colors run Make a new rule just to bend it for fun If the world goes left, we can turn the same Say my name, say my name [Bridge] No grand design, no perfect line Just your coat brushing into mine The clock can skip, the map can tear I know the way when you are there [Final Chorus] Flip the little switch, let it misbehave We can make a mess into a wave Round and round, then we break the frame Say my name, say my name Flip the little switch, let the colors run Make a new rule just to bend it for fun If the world goes left, we can turn the same Say my name, say my name [Outro] Tick-tick, turn the room around One small spark, and we’re homeward bound
