Story Behind The Song
Trying to capture the emotions felt when a good relationship ends, we wrote this song to grasp the desire to move on coupled with the longing of returning to the love once felt. Both the guy and the girl wonder if there's anything left to return to, but the guy knows he has to move on-at least for now-no more turning left down her road. Tonight he moves on, tonight he's Turning Right.

Lyrics
V1
Driving without thinking the other day
Old familiar habits pulled me down the usual way
And from the street side view your house looked small but cute
And it reminded me of you...so much of you
V2
I can see us laughing over lemonade
Floating on the porch swing in the warmth of August shade
I helped you plant those roses, that summer we were close as
We could ever hope to be...Now all I see is you
CH
Pausing at the stop sign near the railroad tracks
Remembering the good times and all the love we had
I used to turn left every single time and head to your place almost every night
But tonight... yeah, tonight- tonight I'm turning right
V3
Wondering if it hurts you when you think of me
Does the chill of quiet sheets rob you of your sleep
Are you lonely in your room staring through tears at the moon
Would it help to dream of me...Cause all I dream is you
Chorus: Repeat
Bridge:
Do you feel the tide of us still pulling on your heart
Begging you to find a way to move on from the dark
But sometimes history shows
This is how love goes
Memories make it hard to know
Chorus: Repeat
