turnstile just a tiny piece of my profile
i feel confident in my lifestyle
just one thing missing here i'd like to see from you
'cause of all the things you do
meanwhile i guess i haven't been very mobile
and if you'd like me to i can wait for you a while
but while i'm waiting here i just might turn forty-two
and if there's one thing that's true
i've never seen you smile
you put a fence up when your head was in a spin
now that's the same fence that shuts you in
open the gate now you're in such a perfect place
what you embrace may put the smile back on your face
fragile is the time that's cast by the sundial
and that's the only time i have that is worthwhile
my time is slipping by now it's time to take the cue
won't you make your debut
freestyle my time is coming soon though i know i'm in denial
not much longer now till we're walking down the aisle
there'll be no turning back but my rent is overdue
bit off more than I can chew
i've never seen you smile

Short Song Description:
"Amazing Lyrics. Obviously, your lyrics are as important as the melody. Great songwriting. " -

Long Song Description:
Sparklers opens with “Turnstile,” destined to be a classic, fast paced with great wordplay, starting each verse with a rhyme of “turnstile” (“meanwhile,” “freestyle”) wrapped up with “I've never seen you smile.” - Performer Magazine

Story Behind the Song:
Just whipped ot out. I had fun with the wordplay on the verses.
You have to listen for it, but I kind of impressed myself when I created the guitar loops on the last chorus.
