TUNING IN/TUNING OUT
©Ruby Bird / Billy Carl Mancini, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP
Do you remember that time at Jon and Nancy’s?
We were all still young and free and wild
We took a ride to find a book of smiles inside
Just a mile past Alan’s barn
Who am I…
I’m tuning in to listen to your beating heart
Who you are…
If you can hear me squeeze my hand
Where we are…
I want to filter out the static and the dark
Give me a sign you understand
So I stepped out of your car and the sky exploded
Blasted by a billion zillion stars
And you said, “Bet ya don’t see that much in the city”
And we just looked at the stars…
For what seemed a long time…
But was probably just a minute
Who am I…
I’m tuning in to listen to your beating heart
Who you are…
If you can hear me squeeze my hand
Where we are…
I want to filter out the static and the dark
Give me a sign you understand
Who am I…
I’m tuning in to listen to your beating heart
Who you are…
If you can hear me squeeze my hand
Where we are…
I’m tuning out the news that everyone is dead
Give me a sign you understand
I’m tuning in, you’re tuning out
