Root Lyrics by Fingertips

2

2012

[Verse 1]
I'm turning back the time just to try again
I'm turning back the time
And straight from a movie I see my life
Don't need to cry your eyes
I'm going back, right to the start, ooh

[Verse 2]
I'm taking back my roots just to feel the flame
I'm taking back my roots
So now and then I'll make it right
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
It's getting like a sleight of hand
I can't put it all into a glance for you, for you
What you get defines the way you are
Some times go back right to the start, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
It's getting like a sleight of hand
I won't live my life into a glance
Do you? Is that true?
What you get is who you are
So some times go back right to the start
Just do like I do

It's getting like a sleight of hand
I won't live my life into a glance
Do you? Is that true?

[Verse 3]
I'm turning back the time just to try again
I'm taking back my roots
I'm turning back the time just to feel the flame
I'm taking back my roots
To live again, right from the start
Ooh, ooh

[Outro]
It's getting like a sleight of hand
I won't live my life into a glance
Do you?
