The turns we took to get here 
The turns we took to get here 

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 )
And I wander backwards through my mind
( The turns we took to get here )
Always that feckless youth
Taking me down roads I never wanted to travel
Is that 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
And says: "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 back 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

The turns we took to get here 
The turns we took to get here 
But the ending is it so near ?
The turns we took to get here 
Oh, the turns we took to get here
