Turn Of The Century Lyrics

You saw my reflection
covered in glass
how it reminds me of you

Broken like vision
an unfinished season
Terror has struck me,
but all i could see was your soft skin

And I wonder

Inside the workhouse
you mind your own business
and i have the courage of two

And as i requested
a lapse in your presence
I couldn't think of anything important to say,

So I wonder
When this day will end
Yeah I wonder
If we speak again
Yeah I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Yeah I wonder
Yeah I wonder

I love this song, and it seems so hard for him to deal with the fact that he told this girl they shouldn't see each other for a while but now he misses her but what could he say to her?He just has to hope for the best...

the version I had there's no such repetitions in the end part with "yeah I wonder..." ... is that another version? I have a very melodic and slow one on a piano sound backdrop... a great song, man... one of Pete's best songs...

this song is all about the memories... the regrets...

about how hard it is to lose someone you still love, but you didn't know that, until now..

Just a masterpiece

Cover art for Turn Of The Century lyrics by Pete Yorn

Much like everyone has said, this song is really sad. He's obviously lost someone he loves and it's hard to deal with. He wonders what the future will bring. Much like after you break up with someone, you wonder these things- will I see them again? Will we ever speak to each other again? Often the answers to these things is 'no', which is very sad when you think about it.
