The World Turns

soul Americana, rootsy country-soul groove with warm electric piano, gently picked acoustic guitar, rounded bass, brushed drums, and restrained pedal steel, Keep the vocal intimate and conversational, preserving the source melody and section flow; verses stay sparse and close, choruses widen with subtle backing harmonies and a steady pocket, then settle into a worn, record-like ending

i didn't really care to know more 
about anything pertaining to anyone 
other than you

and you didn’t care enough to 
know all about me

and the world turns
and turns on that solid beat 
of me loving you 
while you never really loved me

blue days come and go
take the sunshine with them 
i don’t know much anymore 
about the snow
or the leaves changing 
but i know 
life keeps rearranging 
and letting go
is such a hard blow
to anyone who has 
a semblance of imagination 
for what could happen
when someone looked into your soul
and made it their home

ah why is it so easy for you, though?
how was it so easy for you?

(chorus)
when the world turns
and turns on that solid beat 
of me loving you 
while you never really loved me 
like a record 
spinning and spinning 
the same song 
starting again right 
at the beginning 
but the break at the end
it’s always waiting

(verse 2)
it was a bit of make believe 
it was a bit of fantasy 
but it felt like a place 
i could learn to live to be 
it felt alot like free

the seasons are passing 
the reasons ring of nonsense 
they barely bother to show themselves 
that’s how little it all mattered in the end
and you couldn’t bring yourself to say
a thing about how you felt those days 
in regards to all the ways 
we learned to treasure the things
we wanted to stay the same

and i gave up 
what was there for me in all of it?
yeah i walked away
from a tree 
from a bench 
by the water 
and from a trail of tears 
i thought someone followed
once upon a forgotten day

yes what’s it like to just let it 
all fade away?

(chorus)
the world turns
and turns on that solid beat 
of me loving you 
while you never really loved me 
like a record 
spinning and spinning 
the same song 
starting again right 
at the beginning 
but the break at the end
it’s always waiting

yeah the world turns
and turns on that solid beat 
of me loving you 
while you never really loved me

the world turns
and turns on that solid beat 
of me loving you 
while you never really loved me

and i wouldn’t know it if you ever did 
really love me 
ever did 
ever did 
if you ever really loved me
