Can't I just turn back the clock? Forgive my sins I just wanna roll my sleeves up And start again I know that I messed it up Time and time again I just wanna roll my sleeves up And start again I was switchin' up the lanes Steppin' out the frame I'm in I was pulling on the reins Sick of all the same happenin' I swear I was looking for disaster Mixed with a bottle of gin And just because I come home after Doesn't mean you'll take me in You see my world is spinning like there's nothing to know You see my world is feeling like it just might explode And yes I know it's hard to take it backwards from my mind I need to get a ride, need to see some light come in Can't I just turn back the clock? Forgive my sins I just wanna roll my sleeves up And start again I know that I messed it up Time and time again I just wanna roll my sleeves up And start again Feelin' like maybe I'm unappreciated Like my presence in your life has been alleviated I feel like everything I've done before is different now But I can see clearer than ever from a distance now Every day I do it, I been goin' through it But you never knew it 'cause I never showed you You gave me the world, so I feel I owed you I been lookin' through the mirror and that's the old you I'ma get it right now, don't know how But I promise that we're gonna make it somehow I'm all in, it's from the heart again Open up your mind and maybe we could start again Can't I just turn back the clock? Forgive my sins I just wanna roll my sleeves up And start again I know that I messed it up Time and time again I just wanna roll my sleeves up And start again Oh Oh And yes I know it's hard to take it backwards from my mind I need to get a ride, need to see some light come in Can't I just turn back the clock? Forgive my sins I just wanna roll my sleeves up And start again
