Lyrics
TAKE IT BACK BABY
Just a sound in a long-lost night
You think maybe nobody heard
You want so bad to make it right
If you could find the words
Like a shot that finally finds its mark
A hundred thousand miles away
Now the echo goes on and on
No matter what you say
Take it back baby
I'm gonna hang on every line
Take it back baby
Baby's no longer mine
I know that words can be weapons
I could feel the slip of your tongue
But did you really mean to go there, baby?
You like the way it stung?
Take it back baby
I'm gonna hang on every line
Take it back baby
Baby's no longer mine
If I could go back in time
I'd break the speed of sound
Roll back to that quiet night
When it all came unwound
Before that word came crashing down
Take it back baby
I'm gonna hang on every line
Take it back baby
Baby's no longer mine
