Turn Back Time


There’s an itch on my back
And it is so hard to scratch
I’m struggling to reach
We dance out in the rain
Find out it’s a hurricane
Now we’re left on the beach

Time can itch, time can pour
Time can leave you wanting more
Rub the lamp, cast the spell
You can know each other well

Chorus:
Turn back time, turn it back
Turn over the hourglass
See the sand running down
See what we had, become found
Place your hand in my hand
Together we’ll move the sand

You can do as you please
When there is no gravity
You can soar through the air
Come along for the ride
Like a coin we have two sides
But we are both still there

Time is fun, time is free
Time is also addicting
Rub the lamp, cast the spell
You can know each other well

CHORUS

You realize the mistake
After it’s already made
So you work on fixing it
Little bit by little bit
Move the moon by turning time
And you’ll see you’ve turned the tide

CHORUS

CHORUS

Turn back time, turn it back
Turn over the hourglass
Turn back time, turn it back
Turn over the hourglass


The verses and chorus all have a similar rhythm to it, but the chorus has the main message. The whole message of this piece focuses on time. There may be times when we want to turn it back to undo something or redo something or relive something. The chorus mentions a good way of imagining turning time back: turning an hourglass over to place the sand where it once was.
