Turn Back Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give me time to reason
Give me time to think it through
Passing through the season
Where I cheated you

[Pre-Chorus]
I will always have a cross to wear
But the bolt reminds me I was there
So give me strength to face this test tonight

[Chorus]
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
For the night

[Verse 2]
Claim your right to science
Claim your right to see the truth
Though my pangs of conscience
Will drill a hole in you

[Pre-Chorus]
I seen it coming like a thief in the night
I seen it coming from the flash of your light
So give me strength to face this test tonight
[Chorus]
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay

[Bridge]
(The bolt reminds me I was there)
(The bolt reminds me I was there)

[Chorus]
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

[Outro]
If only I could (If only I could)
If only I could (If only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
