Turn and Run
Neil Finn Lyrics

There's a light overhead
The bright light in the sky above is present and noticeable.

In the sky overhead
The light is located in the sky and can be seen from below.

And I'm with you now in body and music and mind
I'm with you in every way possible, physically, emotionally, and mentally.

And we're silent and still
We're not speaking or moving, but we're still connected.

Everything's so out of control tonight
The situation feels chaotic and unpredictable at the moment.

In a plane that's flying fast
Traveling in an aircraft moving at high speeds through the air.

At a speed that makes me cry
The velocity of the plane is so high that it causes an emotional response of sadness.

Have you left me now
Are you no longer by my side or have you abandoned me?

To trouble that won't let me lie
I'm unable to rest or sleep because of the problems or issues I'm facing.

I'm awake all the time
I'm not sleeping, I'm conscious and aware.

You know where I stand
You're aware of my position, stance, or beliefs about something.

Holding my plastic gun
I'm holding onto something that may seem powerful or threatening, but in reality it's not real or effective.

So turn and run
Get away from here as quickly as possible.

You cold killers of innocence
You're people or things that destroy or take away pure, guileless innocence.

Against us there's no defence
There's nothing that can be done to protect us from what you're doing.

Your flash and your wickedness
Your showy, impressive display and your evil ways are causing harm.

You can't break our love
Our strong love and bond cannot be shattered or destroyed.

Tie my hands behind my back
Restricting or limiting my movement and ability to act.

Put a gag on top of my mouth
Stopping my ability to speak or express myself.

But I won't give you up
I won't let you take me or defeat me.

Till silverware's covered in dust
I'll continue fighting until a long time has passed and the cutlery has been neglected or forgotten.

And my shoes fall apart
My footwear has deteriorated or become unusable.

And the tumbleweed runs
The dry and lonely desert plant tumbles aimlessly in the wind.

Over my desert heart
It's metaphorically describing how I feel lonely and isolated, like a dry and deserted desert.

Will surely bring you down again
Your wickedness and harmful ways will cause your own downfall.

Somehow we must stay afloat
We need to figure out a way to survive and keep going despite the difficulties we're facing.

Won't give in to the undertow
We won't let the force of the water's current pull us under and defeat us.

Something's you will never know
There are things that will always be hidden or unknown to you.

You can't break our love
Our love is unbreakable.

You can pull us down
You may forcefully bring us lower, but you won't destroy us completely.

But you can't break our love
Our connection and bond is much stronger than anything you can do to harm us.
