Turn Around

The sun is setting, another long day

And I’m still sitting in the same place

Waiting for the closing bell to ring,

But I can’t help feeling

I’m never going to hear a thing

As long as I keep facing this way.

I’m facing the wrong way

Looking out the back door

When you’re walking out the front-

Walking out the front door

Before I can do a thing.

But I can turn around, Baby.

Baby, I can turn around.

I can turn it around.

And the shutters block the western heat

But the shadows burn the floor.

We can’t see the other’s eyes

So we talk like nothing’s wrong-

We live like we’re alone.

I was thinking it had been a long time

Since we lived like we meant it, we've been

Thinking it’s always the wrong time,

But I can’t help feeling

We’re never going to mean anything

As long as we keep thinking this way.

We’re thinking the wrong way

Hanging on the dark words

When we could be talking in the light-

Talking in the light, now-

Baby, we can’t do this thing.

But we can turn around, Baby.

Baby, we can turn around.

We can turn it around.

Baby, we can do this thing.
