[Verse 1]
He kept a map of scars
In the back of his mind
One by one, he went back
To the nights he would rewind
First, the door he slammed
Then the name he missed
He fixed every little crack
With a clenched-up fist
[Pre-Chorus]
Tick, tick, he ran it back
Swore he’d make it right
But every tiny change
Split the same old line
[Chorus]
Turn it back
Turn it back
He touched the past
And the past bit back
Turn it back
Turn it back
He chased one mistake
And made ten more fast
(Shattered hourglass)
(Shattered hourglass)
[Verse 2]
Now the sky says things
That he never learned
Old friends walk past him
With their faces burned
His mother calls a stranger
By a stranger’s name
The future grew new teeth
While he played that game
[Pre-Chorus]
Tick, tick, hear the crack
Under every prayer
He thought he was the hand
But he was the snare
[Chorus]
Turn it back
Turn it back
He touched the past
And the past bit back
Turn it back
Turn it back
He chased one mistake
And made ten more fast
(Shattered hourglass)
(Shattered hourglass)
[Bridge]
Now he stands in the hallway
Where the years collide
Every door is different
Every mirror lied
He reaches for tomorrow
It slips through his palm
One wrong step in time
And the whole world changed its song
[Breakdown]
Go back
Go back
He can’t go home
Go back
Go back
The future moved on
[Final Chorus]
Turn it back
Turn it back
He touched the past
And the past bit back
Turn it back
Turn it back
He chased one mistake
And made ten more fast
Turn it back
Turn it back
Now nothing fits
In the life he crashed
(Shattered hourglass)
(Shattered hourglass)
