Still Turning

V6

**[Intro — half-spoken, playful]** One for the thunder, two for the rain, three for the idiots doing it again. **[Verse 1]** The wheel keeps turning above the roofs, every old street shining below. From up here I can see where we've been — not a damn thing of where we go. **[Pre-Chorus]** So don't ask me what happens next. Don't make tomorrow prove tonight. The storm has taken half the answers. Hold me while we've still got light. **[Chorus]** Hold me tight — we're wet, we're wrecked, we're still alive. Kiss me now in case the whole world ends tonight. Let the wheel turn, let the black sky fall, let the city disappear below. I can see the road behind us — where it leads, I don't need to know. Just don't let go. Don't let go. **[Verse 2 — counting rhyme, almost laughing]** Four for the lightning, five for the fall, six for the two of us laughing through it all. Every circle brings something back, a name, a wound, a light we knew. But the future stays behind the rain. Right now there's only me and you. **[Pre-Chorus]** So don't ask me what happens next. Don't make tomorrow prove tonight. The storm has taken half the answers. Hold me while we've still got light. **[Chorus]** Hold me tight — we're wet, we're wrecked, we're still alive. Kiss me now in case the whole world ends tonight. Let the wheel turn, let the black sky fall, let the city disappear below. I can see the road behind us — where it leads, I don't need to know. Just don't let go. Don't let go. **[Bridge]** At the top the wheel almost stops. For one breath everything hangs still. Past beneath us. Storm around us. Future somewhere over the hill. Your forehead against mine. Your hand in my coat. No promises. No grand design. If this is all the time we get — then, darling, this one's mine. **[Final Chorus]** Hold me tight — we're bruised, we're wet, and still alive. Laugh with me like surviving is reason enough tonight. Let the thunder tear the black sky wide, let the whole wheel rock and sway. I can see the world behind us — tomorrow can wait another day. Kiss me once like the world is ending. Kiss me twice because it didn't. And when the wheel comes down again — don't let go. **[Outro — almost spoken]** Seven for tomorrow. Seven? Heaven? Heaven! [Joyful giggling] Rain on the glass. Lights below. Still turning. Still here. Don't let go.
