No turning back
No looking around
I wasn't searching
See, what I found

Inside the spaces
Inside of me
If there's a reason
What will it be

Come on and save me
Come on and save me
I want to know if you're the one
That's gonna change me

Go on and change me
Hey, rearrange me
I need to know if you're the one
That's gonna save me

I thought I knew
I had my hope
Swing in the changes
Ring out the old

I'm happy chasing
What I can't reach
I'm still embracing
Secrets I meet

Come on and save me
Come on and save me
I want to know if you're the one
That's gonna change me

Go on and change me
Hey, rearrange me
I need to know if you're the one
That's gonna save me

I wasted time
But that wasn't mine
I hung the jury
I fled the crime

Shake off tomorrow
Break off the past
I know that sorrow
It never lasts

Come on and save me
Come on and save me
I need to know if you're the one
That's gonna change me

Go on and change me
Just rearrange me
I need to know if you're the one
That's gonna save me

Come on and save me
Come on and save me
I want to know if you're the one
That's gonna change me

Go on and change me
Hey, rearrange me
I need to know if you're the one
That's gonna save me
