Oh, the turns we took to get here
The turns we took to get here
Bring us ’round
Oh, the turns we took to get here
But the ending, is it so near?
‘Cause we set out so long ago
I can’t remember how or why we took that road
I can’t remember how
Sometimes I wonder about
The turns we took to get here
(The turns we took to get here)
And I wander backwards through my mind
(The turns we took to get here)
Always that feckless youth
(The ending, is it so near?)
Taking me down roads I’d never want to travel
It’s how I got here
But our song is carried on the wind
And we chase so hard we fall
She sees me down upon my knees
She said, “Hey, Charlie boy, it’s time to come on home
It’s time to stop pretending.”
Somewhere in my house is a piece of paper
(The turns we took to get here)
A story that brings us to this place
(The turns we took to get here)
And I follow down that line
(‘Cause we set out so long ago)
Always that boy, scared of his own shadow
(The turns we took to get here)
Always that boy
(The turns we took to get here)
Turning me off, turning me on
Oh, the turns we took to get here
The turns we took to get here
Is the ending, is it so near?
The turns we took to get here
Oh, the turns we took to get here
Oh, the turns we took to get here
Oh, the turns we took to get here
Oh, the turns we took to get here
Yeah
Now this is my time
I kick it to where I want it to go
I’ll wash away those days
And I’ll pull it to where I want it to go
Yeah, time and tide, it flows over me now
I’ll wash away those days
I’ll pull off those hands
And I’ll slam the door
Oh, the turns we took to get here
Oh, the turns we took to get here
Oh, the turns we took to get here
Oh, the turns we took to get here
