My Turn
Hoobastank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching everyone passing me by
And I can't seem to figure out
When's it gonna be my turn?
I´m sick and tired of paying my dues
Played the game 'till the end and I lose
So can somebody tell me
When's it gonna be my turn?
Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
I've always followed and played by the rules
But the prize goes to those who aren't due
Still nobody can answer me
When's it going to be my turn?
When's it going to be my turn?
Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
'Cause yesterday, I've burned
From tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn
When's it gonna be my turn
When's it gonna be my turn
Whoa, when's it gonna be my turn?
Whoa, when's it gonna be my turn?
Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
'Cause yesterday, I've burned
From tomorrow is uncertain
So why can't I just make my turn today?
When's it gonna be my turn?
When's it gonna be my turn?

I have been patiently waiting in line
I have been waiting my turn in life patiently
Watching everyone passing me by
Seeing others achieving their goals and surpassing me
And I can't seem to figure out
I am struggling to understand
When's it gonna be my turn?
When will I finally get my chance?
I´m sick and tired of paying my dues
I am tired of making sacrifices and investing in my future
Played the game 'till the end and I lose
I have put effort, but still failed
So can somebody tell me
I'm asking for guidance
When's it gonna be my turn?
When will I finally get my chance?
Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
I understand that the future is uncertain and unpredictable
So why can't I just make my turn today?
So why can't I take action and seize the moment now?
I've always followed and played by the rules
I have always obeyed the law and played fair
But the prize goes to those who aren't due
But often the ones who don't deserve it receive more recognition
Still nobody can answer me
I am still seeking an answer
When's it going to be my turn?
When will I finally get my chance?
Whoa, when's it gonna be my turn?
I am expressing my frustration with the situation
Yesterday, I've learned from tomorrow is uncertain
I understand that the future is uncertain and unpredictable
So why can't I just make my turn today?
So why can't I take action and seize the moment now?
'Cause yesterday, I've burned
Because I have made mistakes in the past
When's it gonna be my turn?
When will I finally get my chance?

This song goes out to all the guys who always got screwed out of everything, the kind of guys who are always told to stay in the bench and let the guys in the spotlight hog it despite working their way, those guys who have more than overpaid their dues, and by that I mean guys like us.
Jon Marc

These are the songs we need from Hoobastank in 2019. Their 1st 3 albums were EPIC. Last 3 albums, not so much. This song was great from the 4th album.
