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
