Ingrid Michaelson - Turn to Stone Lyrics Meaning

The first verse, is a request to take a moment to talk about the reality of the relationship, and not view it as a fairytale, where you see things through rose colored glasses. The reality of what your doing to contribute to the failure or success of your life, must be done as soon as possible before you die. Before you meet your maker, so that you can make amends for the ignorance,hate,hurt,failures,defeat, revenge, brutality or any lack of human compassion or contributions you made of lies, accusations against an innocent life.
Going to bed with a clearer head, and hearts too big to fill out bed... it's that it is necessary to forgive, ask for forgiveness, be pure of heart and soul in case you don't wake up, and meet your maker the decision of heaven or hell will be secured. Oh baby how we must atone before we turn to stone.
