Turn Back Time (Full Version)

Nothing seemed to matter in the Earth's last days Sat here staring at old photos in a frame Nothing on the news, nothing left to say People wasting precious time as it slipped away A phone app long forgotten Lying dormant for years Now sounding out a warning Ringing in my ears A red alert was flashing Incoming strike detected And all the things that mattered Instantly redirected Too late to say I'm sorry Too late to make it right Too late to come and hold you Before God turns out the lights If I could turn back time When we were all aligned Overcame a thousand problems Just talking through the night Now it's all been swept away As we face our judgment day No tears can change a thing And no chance left to say Sorry for the times Your feelings fell behind mine Like petals in the wind Memories blown away Wish I'd changed my mind Oh, if I could turn back time Early years we grew up strong Always made it through Found a way to get along It seemed so easy back then Wish I had the time I'd do it all again Wisdom turned to ash As our universes clash Skies began to darken While we drifted all apart then How can this be the end When there's so much left to mend? Looking from this new perspective Everything's so much more objective I try and call you on the phone Just a message, no one's home If I could turn back time When we were all aligned Overcame a thousand problems Just talking through the night Now it's all been swept away As we face our judgment day No tears can change a thing And no chance left to say Sorry for the times Your feelings fell behind mine Like petals in the wind Memories blown away Wish I'd changed my mind Oh, if I could turn back time Falling grains of sand Each for the troubles that we had Fall through the hourglass of time But the reason's fading from my mind Buried by a million others Broken friendships, sisters, brothers Now the opportunity is past And the end is coming fast Ego's burning in the flames As I'm crying out your name Why was I too blind to see What those years would mean to me? Now the final grains descend And there's no more time to mend All the love we left unsaid Just echoes through my head All the words we never said Circle through my head Every chance we let slip by Coming back to us tonight The wealth we chased The points we proved The battles we thought we'd never lose Mean nothing as the skies ignite I'd trade them all for one more night One more laugh, one more call One more chance to heal it all Before the missiles whine And the final stars fade from the sky If I could turn back time I'd leave the hurt behind Hold you close and tell you all the things I kept down inside If I could turn back time I'd choose love every time Before the final grain of sand Before the end of time
