Turn the Clock Back -

Turn the clock back just a moment or two

In anti-clockwise conversation I could un-erode us two

If I had no secrets buried behind

I’d feel love, certain love, for the first time

Turn the clock back just a moment or two

I’d confess all my wants my desires for you

Oh the guilt, all this guilt, for what never was said

Such silence is a torture to a conscience

And time not well spent

Turn the clock back just a moment or two

I’d have learnt enough to settle down and not to run from you

All this hiding, this hiding — the hidden stuff I’ve lost

And where to start searching for stuff I forgot

Turn the clock back, turn the clocks back, just a moment or two

I’d be better, I’d be perfect, I’d be everything for you

If I had no cause to be vicious inside

I’d defend only love, 'cause love is all I desire

How stupidly, how stupidly I stumbled into certainty

In knowing I, in seeing I, could never undo anytime

What’s said is said, what’s done is done

I can’t undo who I’ve become

How wickedly, how wickedly life has made a lesson out of me

Turn the clock back just a moment or two

I’d be everything this life would have wanted me to

No mistakes, no hiding place, no loveless lies to lock inside

I’d be boring, I’d be thankless, I’d be fucking tired
