Default Two usage questions

Ciao everyone, just writing with a couple of usage questions if I may. (Apologies if this is the wrong section.)

What is the difference between show up and turn up?

Here's some context...

Waving hi when love _____,
and see you when it leaves.

Shows up or turns up?

Also - lead a life vs live a life.

A life that changes less the more I _____.

Lead it or live it?

A little more context...

My job is like the copier
that copies what I feed it:
days and weeks, a life that changes
less the more I lead it.

Or...

My job is like the copier
that copies what I give it:
days and weeks, a life that changes
less the more I live it.

Are the differences gross and glaring make or break dealbreakers or pretty minor and inconsequential?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, ciao for now!
