Turn It Back - GoodBooks

I raise my head so slowly

Throw an arm in the air

And I turn all the lights down

And enjoy the despair

I did not feel this happening

I did not see this coming

No I did not predict this at all

Look at me bleeding

With my heart in my hand

But I just can’t believe in

What I don’t understand

So turn it back

Turn it back to the day before

I have a fear of flying

Though I’ve jumped from the sky

And I wake up falling

But in this dream I die

And it won’t be alright

Because it won’t change my life

And no we don’t have the time

But I’m grateful for the chance to

Pick and choose which way this life is going

Look at me bleeding

With my heart in my hand

But I just can’t believe in

What I don’t understand

So turn it back

Turn it back to the day-

When there were stories I’d read them in ink

A life I could hold in my hand

There were songs I could sing for a season

And bury them back in the sand

There’d be friends up and down every table

Of people I’d met in a dream

But when I said they’d think

Of the times that had gone

Well this is the loneliest place I’ve ever been

Look at me bleeding

With my heart in my hand

But I just can’t believe in

What I don’t understand

So turn it back

Turn it back to the day before
