[Verse 1]
Picking up the pieces that they left you in again
Love is all you want, but you're never gonna feel the same
It's hard to be yourself when everyone around is changing
Open up your eyes and you'll never lose yourself again

[Chorus]
And we go over and over and over again
Are you lost in the past thinking what might have been?
You're here, and you're now
Start over and then
Take it over and over and over again
Turn it up
Turn it up

[Verse 2]
Old enough to know and young enough to live again
Stare into the mirror but no one that you know is there
Shaking like it's cold and no one's there to take your hand
I will give you mine and share until you're warm again
So don't you look down

[Chorus]
We go over and over and over again
Are you lost in the past thinking what might have been?
You're here, and you're now
Start over and then
Take it over and over and over again
Turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up

[Bridge]
Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we'll start again
Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we'll start again
Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we'll start again
Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we'll start again
Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we'll start again
Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up
Turn it on, turn it up, turn it over and we'll start again
Turn it up, turn it over, turn it up

[Outro]
Turn it up
Turn it up
Turn it up up up up
And we'll start again
Turn it up
And we'll start again
Turn it up
And we'll start again
Turn it up and we'll start again

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
