Turn It Off

I got a feelin' that you could be feelin'

A whole lot better than you feel today

You say you got a problem

Well, that's no problem

It's super easy not to feel that way

When you start to get confused

Because of thoughts in your head

Don't feel those feelings, hold them in instead

Turn it off like a light switch

Just go, click

It's a cool little Mormon trick

We do it all the time

When you're feeling certain feelings

That just don't seem right

Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light

And turn 'em off, light a light switch

Just go back

Really, what's so hard about that

Turn it off, turn it off

When I was young my dad

Would treat my mom real bad

Every time the Utah Jazz would lose

He'd start a drinkin' and I'd start a thinkin'

How'm I gonna keep my mom from getting abused

I'd see her all scared and my soul was dyin'

My dad would say to me

Now don't you dare start cryin'

Turn it off like a light switch

Just go flick

It's our nifty little Mormon trick

Turn it off, turn it off

My sister was a dancer but she got cancer

The doctor said she still had two months more

I thought she had time, so I got in line

For the new iPhone at the Apple Store

She lay there dying with my father and mother

Her very last words were, "Where is my brother?"

Turn it off

(Yeah)

Bid those sad feelings adieu

The fear that I might get cancer, too

When I was in fifth grade I had a friend, Steve Glade

He and I were close as two friends could be

One thing led to another and soon I would discover

I was having really strange feelings for Steve

I thought about us on a deserted island

We'd swim naked in the sea and then he'd try and whoa

Turn it off like a light switch

There, it's gone
