Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking back
I know I was walking around in disguise
In disguise
I was just a lost soul I needed a guide
And the moment that you came to change my life
(Looking back together yeah)
You fired up my heart and made me smile
And you and I know that
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (world around)
Fears I had
All fading away by the minute and I
Feel alive
You untwisted all of my troubles inside
Like a little piece of heaven finally found
(Looking back together yeah)
You rebuilt my heart up from the ground
And you and I know baby
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (oh yeah yeah)
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (yeah you turn my world around)
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (world around, oh yeah yeah)
I'm yeah
I'm yeah
Oh you fired up my heart and made me smile
And you and I know baby
Turn my world around
Oh yeah yeah

Yeah
Turn my world around (yeah you turn my world around)
I'm a different person (oh yeah yeah)
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (world around, oh yeah yeah)

@LA98x
Any time I see an old 90’s show/movie, I wish I could crawl through the screen, run home, and live it all over again. I’m so stuck in the past.
@MrRedSmoke86
Me too all I watch is 90s shows and movies
@gibbs615
Yeah I feel the same way cause I was a 90's kid too who was born in 1984.
