The Turnaround

[Verse 1]
Stared at the mirror in the morning light Tracing the lines that appeared overnight Calendar pages scattered on the floor Don't even know what I was waiting for The best years faded like a radio song Static and silence where I don't belong I let the river just carry me downstream Sleeping awake in a hollow dream

[Pre-Chorus]
But the clock is ticking a different beat I feel the pavement beneath my feet The dust is settling, the fog is clearing The edge of the cliff is disappearing

[Chorus]
I'm taking it back, I'm turning it round Pulling my spirit right out of the ground It ain't over yet, I've got breath in my lungs I'm speaking truth with a thousand tongues No more looking back at the empty space I'm running a brand new desperate race Ignite the fire, let the engines burn It's finally my turn

[Verse 2]
Sold my guitar for a suit and a tie Watched the ambition slowly die But I bought it back from the pawn shop today I got some heavy debts I need to pay To the boy I was, to the man I should be Breaking the lock and finding the key The fusion of sorrow and pure energy Is washing right over me

[Chorus]
I'm taking it back, I'm turning it round Pulling my spirit right out of the ground It ain't over yet, I've got breath in my lungs I'm speaking truth with a thousand tongues No more looking back at the empty space I'm running a brand new desperate race Ignite the fire, let the engines burn It's finally my turn

[Bridge]
Time is a thief if you leave the door open But I'm fixing the parts that were rusted and broken Faster and louder, the rhythm is strong I'm right where I belong Right where I belong

[Guitar and Synth Solo]

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm starting over. Watch me run. New day. My turn.
