Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm changing down the gears
I'm slamming on the brakes
A vintage soft top from the '60s
[Verse 2]
We're coming to a bend now
Skidding 'round the hairpin
A sheer drop down
The Italian mountainside
[Verse 3]
And time is kind of frozen
And you're gazing at the view
And I swear I'm seeing double
[PreChorus]
But no one's gonna bring me down, no
No way and no how
I'm letting go of the wheel
'Cause it might be as well
It might be as well
[Chorus]
I've got these slings
I've got these arrows
I force myself to
I've got these slings
I've got these arrows
I force myself to
Turn
Turn
[Verse 4]
The ground is coming for me now
We've gone over the edge
[Verse 5]
If you've got something to say
Say it now
[PreChorus]
No one's gonna bring me down, no
No way and no how
I'm letting go of the wheel
[Chorus]
Despite these slings
Despite these arrows
I force myself to
Despite these slings
Despite these arrows
I force myself to
Turn
Turn
[Outro]
Turn
Turn
Turn
Turn
