[Verse 1]
I saw you standing in the yard
Tearing down your house of cards
When I stopped to say hello
You pretended not to hear
Wish that you could disappear
But there's nowhere left to go
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Heard you say everything that begins
Needs an ending
[Chorus]
But the world keeps turning around
Turning us upside side down
And back to where we started out
So why can't you and I start over again?
[Verse 2]
I was swinging in the trees
Listening to a gentle breeze
When a thought ran through my mind
Suddenly it seemed absurd
How a single solitary word
Could you treat me so unkind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's a shame how you're missing
The signals I'm sending
[Chorus]
But the world keeps turning around
Turning us upside side down
And back to where we started out
So why can't you and I start over again?
[Bridge]
Don't say you're through with me just yet
You might do something you'll regret
When you've considered all that we've been through
I'm not saying I've got all the answers
And my head's filled with doubt
All I know is you're all I've been thinking about
[Chorus]
As the world keeps turning around
Turning us upside side down
And back to where we started out
So why can't you and I start over again?
[Chorus]
Yeah, the world keeps turning around
Turning us upside side down
And back to where we started out
So why can't you and I start over again?
