Give me time to reason
Give me time to think it through
Passing through the season
Where I cheated you

I will always have a cross to wear
But the bolt reminds me I was there

So give me strength
To face this test tonight

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night, for the night

Claim your right to science
Claim your right to see the truth
Though my pangs of conscience
Will drill a hole in you

I've seen it coming like a thief in the night
I've seen it coming from the flash of your light

So give me strength
To face this test tonight

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay

The bolt reminds me I was there
The bolt reminds me I was there

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay

If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could (if only I could)
If only I could (if only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could (if only I could)
If only I could (if only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could (if only I could)
If only I could (if only I could)
