about

This version of "Tuning In / Tuning Out" is the same as the original version but shorter with the ending jam edited out. Designed for radio stations that didn't want to play a 6:30 song.

lyrics

Tuning In / Tuning Out (Radio Edit)
©Ruby Bird / Billy Carl Mancini, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

Do you remember that time at Jon and Nancy’s?
We were all still young and free and wild
We took a ride to find a book of smiles inside
Just a mile past Alan’s barn

Who am I…
I’m tuning in to listen to your beating heart
Who you are…
If you can hear me squeeze my hand
Where we are…
I want to filter out the static and the dark
Give me a sign you understand

So I stepped out of your car and the sky exploded
Blasted by a billion zillion stars
And you said, “Bet ya don’t see that much in the city”
And we just looked at the stars…
For what seemed a long time…
But was probably just a minute

Who am I…
I’m tuning in to listen to your beating heart
Who you are…
If you can hear me squeeze my hand
Where we are…
I want to filter out the static and the dark
Give me a sign you understand

Who am I…
I’m tuning in to listen to your beating heart
Who you are…
If you can hear me squeeze my hand
Where we are…
I’m tuning out the news that everyone is dead
Give me a sign you understand

I’m tuning in, you’re tuning out
