Turn 'round in time to be on the other way
I know you're gonna try and bring me down
Run 'round my feet on the other way
Not gonna be in town when you're around

No, I won't be there in time
No, I won't be there in time

This year I told myself it'd be a better one
Try not to fall back onto the knife
I never told myself I'd be a better friend
I'll meet you on the other side of life

No, I won't be there in time
No, I won't be there in time
No, I won't be there in time
No, I won't be there in time
