Turn With The Tilt

[Verse 1]
I kept a crooked little compass
In the lining of my coat
It points to every place I stumbled
Still it gets me where I’m going

[Pre-Chorus]
No need to sand the needle smooth
No need to hide the bent-up frame
I’ll read the marks and take them with me
Every flaw can bear my name

[Chorus]
Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!)
Carry the crack! (Carry the crack!)
I’m not a copy of a map
I’m taking every angle forward
Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!)
No looking back! (No looking back!)
The crooked points still chart a path
I’m taking every angle forward

[Verse 2]
Some roads curl like question marks
Some answers came in chipped enamel
I leave the dents there in the brass
They catch the light when I travel

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t mistake a scar for failure
Or call the weather my design
The needle shakes, the hand keeps moving
There is room for all of mine

[Chorus]
Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!)
Carry the crack! (Carry the crack!)
I’m not a copy of a map
I’m taking every angle forward
Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!)
No looking back! (No looking back!)
The crooked points still chart a path
I’m taking every angle forward

[Bridge]
Let the dial swing wide
Let the old lines bend
I can start from here
And still begin again

[Final Chorus]
Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!)
Carry the crack! (Carry the crack!)
I’m not a copy of a map
I’m taking every angle forward
Turn with the tilt! (Turn with the tilt!)
No looking back! (No looking back!)
The crooked points still chart a path
I’m taking every angle forward
[Outro]
Every angle forward
