Turn Back Time (Lyrics)

I walked the streets without a name,

I wished that someday you might feel the same—

My mind blank as night turned to day,

Face blank to what I had to say.

She looked so pretty in the light,

I tried to speak—she left my sight.

Never will I tell her my regret

I just pray we will both forget

  

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Sleepless nights are my best friends,

Counting stars till we meet the end.

I stand by you, try to speak—

Slowly thoughts begin to leak.

Now eyes begin to drift away,

All I want is for you to stay

But he’s the one who hears you,

And he’s the one who holds you.

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide

Hoping that words will turn back time

Bloodshot eyes affixed in a glance,

Tears down my cheeks as you begin to dance,

My heart beats—I can’t stand to glimpse,

With each breath I begin to wince.

And when he looks into your eye,

I breathe and hope I’m soon to die—

Left alone in memories of you

Walking alone in a world without you

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Hoping that words will turn back time

Hoping that words will turn back time

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Now by night I seem to lose my mind,

I can’t help but think of everything

And my heart will always feel this divide,

Hoping that words will turn back time

Hoping that words will turn back time
