Turning Tables

Let me just preface this post by saying lately I have become obsessed with Adele and incredibly impressed by her. Gobsmacked. Bewildered. Inspired.

I'm not quite sure why, but her latest album has rocked me to my core. She's not only got the most soulful, deep, powerful and rich voice I've ever heard in a woman, but her music & lyrics are phenomenal. My favorite song by her right now, apart from, Set Fire to the Rain, is Turning Tables. If I were to create a song that I thought applied to this season of my life, I couldn't come up with half the magic or half the talent that lies in this song by her.

Here are the lyrics:
Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

So I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't rescue, you to just desert me
I can't give you, the heart you think you give me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables

Under haunted skies I see you, ooh
Where love is lost, your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no I will never be knocked down

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb, I can't breathe

So I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't rescue, you to just desert me
I can't give you, the heart you think you give me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables

Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no
I won't rescue, you to just desert me
I can't give you, the heart you think you give me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah

Gorgeous. Full-figured. Real. Unique. Adele.
