[Intro] Close enough to feel. Too far to hold So I stopped turning [Verse 1] I used to have a dark side I could hide in A shoulder the world didn’t get to name Then I locked. One face for you forever The other face I never saw again No spin. No weather of my own Just the pull that picked a single side I call it loyalty so it sounds holy It’s just a moon that forgot the night [Chorus] I learned how to face only one way I gave you the day and I buried the rest If I turn now I lose the only heat I know So I stay locked and I call it love I learned how to face only one way The back of me is a field I can’t enter The light can leave, but I can never Tidal lock. No more weather. [Verse 2] People talk to the side I don’t use It doesn’t answer. It doesn’t even ache I polished the face you wanted shining And let the other one blacken and flake I am still a body. I am not a motion You can map me with a single glance I used to rotate just to stay honest Now honesty is a permanent stance [Chorus] I learned how to face only one way I gave you the day and I buried the rest If I turn now I lose the only heat I know So I stay locked and I call it love I learned how to face only one way The back of me is a field I can’t enter The light can leave, but I can never Tidal lock. No more weather. [Rap] Lock the axis, kill the spin, keep the smile on the side they see Night-face rotting where I used to breathe Don’t you turn, don’t you blink, don’t you show them the other half I sold rotation for a little path Fixed, faithful, frozen, fine I face you so hard I disappear behind If love is a lock then I paid in degrees I don’t orbit anymore. I just freeze [Breakdown] I don’t Turn I can’t Turn I won’t I will never turn for you AGAIN!!! [Chorus] I learned how to face only one way I gave you the day and I buried the rest If I turn now I lose the only heat I know So I stay locked and I call it love I learned how to face only one way The back of me is a field I can’t enter The light can leave, but I can never Tidal lock, I’m giving up forever… [Outro] I learned how to face only one way I learned how to face only one way I learned how to face only one way
