Words and Music by Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander, B. Brandt & M. Radice Never look back but now never lose sight Of your past, oh no Change every moment knowing your decisions They just won't last, oh no Well it's different this time around I won't look back 'cause I found That gone are the days Long are the nights It feels right turning this time around Always the danger of falling into A mindless shell, oh yeah Come out of your shell don't fall into a trap You can't get out (can't get out, can't get out) Well it's different this time around I won't look back 'cause I found That gone are the days Long cold nights It feels like turning this time around When it hurts that bad You know my temperature rises It never goes down It's goin' up Straight up When it hurts that bad You know my temperature rises It never goes down It's goin' up Straight up, straight up Gone are the days Long are the nights It feels right turning this time around, oh yeah It's different this time around I won't look back 'cause I found That gone are the days Long are nights It feels right turning this time around (Repeat to Coda)
