Turn It Up – Isolde Wren

Verse

Sixteen and the tar road's melting

Radio hangs from a busted screen door

Cherry ice drips down my wrist

Somebody's little sister keeps score

Porch lights buzzing, moths on the wire

Sun won't quit till a quarter past nine

Everybody's calling shotgun

Nobody's watching the time

Pre-Chorus

So what if the tank runs empty

What if we don't get far

Long as the windows are open

Long as we know where we are

Chorus

Turn it up, turn it up

Let the whole block hear us

Turn it up, turn it up

Summer won't come near us twice

Bare feet on the hood of the car

Chasing gold till it turns to stars

Turn it up, turn it up

This is our whole life

Verse

Gas station slushies, dollar for two

Paper map falling apart at the fold

Somebody's cousin brought sparklers

Says we'll remember this when we're old

Lake water warm as a Sunday

Dive in laughing, come up with a scream

Nobody's checking a clock here

Nobody's waking from the dream

Pre-Chorus

So what if the tank runs empty

What if we don't get far

Long as the windows are open

Long as we know where we are

Chorus

Turn it up, turn it up

Let the whole block hear us

Turn it up, turn it up

Summer won't come near us twice

Bare feet on the hood of the car

Chasing gold till it turns to stars

Turn it up, turn it up

This is our whole life

Bridge

Someday we'll be older

Chasing something slower

But tonight the sky's still burning gold

Someday we'll drive different roads

But for now just grab the wheel and go

Nowhere we gotta be but here

Chorus

Turn it up, turn it up

Let the whole block hear us

Turn it up, turn it up

Summer won't come near us twice

Bare feet on the hood of the car

Chasing gold till it turns to stars

Turn it up, turn it up

This is our whole life
