Flip It Over

[Intro] Found a loose thread in the back of the room Pulled it once, now the whole shape moved [Verse 1] I brought a small plan in a paper cup One clean line and a little luck Then the floor leaned left when the kick came in Now the walls know where the trouble begins You said, "Keep it simple," I tried that twice But simple got bored and it rolled the dice So I bent the corner, cut the frame Turned a quiet little spark into a different flame [Pre-Chorus] If you thought you knew the way this goes Wait till the next door opens close [Chorus] Flip it over, let the underside show Take the slow road, make the wrong turn glow What was a dead end starts to move A little off-center, a brand-new groove [Verse 2] I left my best idea by the kitchen sink It came back dressed in a sharper tint No grand parade, no polished disguise Just a crooked grin and a better surprise The old routine had a borrowed coat I cut the sleeves and changed the note Now every mistake has a place to land And every loose piece fits my hand [Bridge] Drop the lights, leave the room bare One heartbeat hanging in the air Then bring it back with a different face Same foundation, brand-new shape [Chorus] Flip it over, let the underside show Take the slow road, make the wrong turn glow What was a dead end starts to move A little off-center, a brand-new groove [Outro] No need to name what changed tonight Just turn it once and find the light
