lyrics

Taster’s Choice

We used to turn on a dime
And then you’d turn on
And then you’d fall into me
I used to hold you in my arms
And wish that we were meant to be

You used to dance with me slow
in the kitchen with your wake-up
When you knew I had to go
You had to turn on turn on turn on/to live

Do you remember when we’d sleep the time away
We’d talk all night and then you’d say
We could sit and talk forever/and never see the light of day
I used to wonder if you would ever find a way

CHORUS:
Not to turn on turn on turn on
Turn on turn on turn on
Turn on turn on turn on/to live

We were going nowhere
and we were happy when we got there
Because we both really wanted to stay
But when I finally wanted to get somewhere
and you could not be moved
I knew I’d have to be the one to walk away

You looked so happy to see me
I could hardly tell
You’d been gone so long
and been through so much hell
And you said you could feel things
you never thought you’d say
But there are moments when
you turn and taste again

CHORUS:
You have to turn on turn on turn on
Turn on turn on turn on
Turn on turn on turn on/to live
