Songwriter: Eliot Kennedy Gary Barlow

Producer: John Shanks

[Verse 1]
There's a moment you've been waiting all your life for
When you feel you've found a meaning you could die for
And it happens when you seem to least expect it
All at once, you come alive and feel connected
I ignored beat inside my heart for too long
Had accepted what is right but always felt wrong
It's a secondhand of time I've been a slave to
But inside, there was a feeling, something I always knew

[Chorus 1]
If the world turned upside down
If the sky changed places with the ground
All the whispers, all the possible, be clear and loud
If the world turned upside down

[Verse 2]
When the road ahead just goes in one direction
And for every word you write, there's contradiction
When the inner voice of reason's full of doubt
What's the point in fitting if you're designed to stand out

[Chorus 1]
If the world turned upside down
If the sky changed places with the ground
All the whispers, all the possible, be clear and loud
If the world turned upside down

[Bridge]
I just wanna be free from limitations and rules
Imagine the space, what I could create
Imagine the look on their face

[Chorus 2]
If the world turned upside down
And the earth and sky changed around
If there'd [?] we'd walk in the stars
We'd do everything we're told we can't
What we'd think feel, we could shout it out
If the world turned upside down
If the world turned upside down

The Goo Goo Dolls

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.
