Several times I've tried

Everything to make you feel all right

(Turn it around) Is anything working?

Several times I've died inside

And then I see you get uptight

(Turn it around) We gotta get back

Turn it around



I've got time on my side

And you've got time on your side

Now it's only time to decide

Which side you're on

We've tried everything in sight

To make it turn out all right



Now is the only time

Now is the only time

Now it's time to try to turn it around



Several times I've wished

That everything would slip into a void

(Turn it around) Does it even matter now?

It's time to figure out

The things we want, and things that we'll avoid

(Turn it around) We gotta get back

Turn it around



I don't grab for straws anymore

And you don't sink your claws anymore

But the more I think

The less I really know about myself

We gotta turn it around

Before it goes into the ground



Several times tried to turn it around

Several ways tried to turn it around



There's several morals and there's several plays

Several parts that anyone can try

It's enough to make you cry

I may not think that I'm right

But I know the things I've got

Are gonna turn out all right

We gotta get back, turn it around



I may not be anything

And you might be the biggest thing

But the biggest thing to me

Is making this thing work for life

We gotta turn it around

Before it goes into the ground
