lyrics

Take It Back
(Words & Music by Jim Butterfield)

It seemed so obvious to me, that this is how it’s meant to be
I had it figured out, without a doubt, I finally was going to be free
Guess not so obvious to you, that memo didn’t make it through
You liked the status quo, go with the flow, and all the time you thought that I did too

CHORUS
So now I’m tossing and turning from burning my bridges before
I knew the facts and confirming that I just can’t take this back

Thought this was temporary love, not something sent from up above
Thought this was one-and-done, a little fun, but now it seems that push has come to shove
You say you’ve heard it all before, but this was going to be more
Not just a passing thing, a two-week fling, you say it’s time to even up the score

DOUBLE CHORUS
So now I’m tossing and turning from burning my bridges before
I knew the facts and confirming that I just can’t take this back
I’m coming and going; I’m rolling with punches before
I knew the facts, and now knowing that I just can’t take this back

Sometimes you get what you deserve, this time my life threw me a curve
It’s time to suck it up, drink the cup, and show that I can muster up the nerve
You are not without any blame; this thing will never be the same
We’ll have to change the rules, and change the tools, this thing called love is no longer a game
