Turn the Pages
Kris Allen Lyrics

In "Turn the Pages," Kris Allen sings about being there for someone who has helped him overcome his own difficulties and who now needs help. He speaks to the person directly; they are the one with smoke in their eyes who somehow quenched the fire that he had been burning. Now it is the other person who is caught in the fire, and Allen wants to be the air that they need. He understands that it is getting harder to breathe but assures that he will be there for them. He also acknowledges that they are not to blame for what is happening but that he could break their fall. He encourages them to hold on tightly for they will make it through the night. Along with this, he speaks about how everything is temporary, including the moment of regret that the person is currently experiencing. He wants to be the hero in the story of their life that never ends, and he will not let the story end until it is truly over. All they need to do is to turn the pages and keep moving forward.

The song's message emphasizes companionship and support. Kris sings of being there for someone who was there for him when he needed them. He tells them to hold on tight and promises to carry them through whatever difficulties they are facing. Always with the idea that they are not alone, Allen urges the person to move on and leave their past behind, focusing on a better tomorrow. He reminds us that everything in life is only temporary and every story has an end. But this end doesn’t mean everything is over. That's the time we should try to turn the pages and move towards something more positive. All we need is the courage to move forward and have someone by our side who would support us unconditionally.
