Since the turn of our tide we will play with our minds
What some call a gift makes someone today
You see I can relate 'cause I've made my mistakes
Been plagued by the guilt written on my face
It's been turning and turning, I just can't stop
Been spinning and spinning like hands on the clock

So please, forgive me
For I know not what I do
So please, let me save the hands
I've been falling through on my way back to you
Since the mark of our days
People hide from their shame
They bury the truth about what pulled them through
You see I cannot make an excuse, "I'm a saint"
Lay your burdens on me and I'll laugh in your face

It's been turning and turning, I just can't stop
Been spinning and spinning like hands on the clock
So please, forgive me
For I know not what I do
So please, let me save the hands
I've been falling through on my way back to you

We all want to be so perfect, so perfect in their eyes
Want them to see, no imperfection
We're imperfections, not a crime
Like in a fool, because I'm too close to the floor
I'll keep on crawling and crawling
To the light underneath the door

So please, forgive me
For I know not what I do
So please, let me save the hands
I've been falling through on my way back to you
On my way back to you
