This is the first song Brad and I wrote together that was actually written with a female in mind....I really enjoyed this project...Brad is such a delight to work with,and I always know I get his very best,lyrically,as well as his great melodies and demos...
STOP TURNING AROUND
Brenda Anderson/Brad Miller
Verse
The alarm clock rings/jump out of bed
Same stuff , a different day,racing thru my head
Put on the coffee,feed the cat, shower and dress
All calculated moves, like a game of chess
Pre chorus
I can't remember when I started playing safe
Used to be a lot more fun leaving living up to fate
CHORUS
I SHOULD START TURNING CORNERS
AND STOP TURINING AROUND
YEAH, HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS HOW MUCH I COULD HAVE FOUND
THEY SAY ON THE OTHER SIDE THE GRASS AIN'T ALWAYS GREEN
I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT ALL I'VE NEVER SEEN
AND SINCE THE WORLD IS ROUND,I DON'T NEED TO TURN AROUND
Verse
Can't help but think where is that girl
The one who once believed she would see the world
Run a marathon,go to Paris or write a book
Walk thru her field of dreams hopeful and barefoot
Pre chorus
And like a wild mustang I used to run so free
Somewhere I lost that spirit that lived inside of me
CHORUS(REPEAT)
BRIDGE
IF THE WORLD WERE FLAT ,I'D BE TO SCARED TO WALK TO THE EDGE
WELL,THOSE DAYS ARE OVER AND SO NOW I MAKE THIS PLEDGE
CHORUS(CHANGE
SO I'LL START TURNING CORNERS AND STOP TURNING AROUND
YEAH, NOW I'LL GET TO SEE WHATS OUT THERE TO BE FOUND
AND SINCE THE WORLD IS ROUND, I DON'T NEED TO TURN AROUND
TAG
I DON'T NEED TO TURN AROUND
