Take It Back
[Verse 1]
Well we're just two ships passing through the night
Two lost lonely people inside
I wanted to hold you tight
Or get away
Your eyes don't look close to mine
Lonely times and the people the same
You've seen what you've been
And you mean what you say
And you say what it is

[Chorus]
Just take it back
Take it back
What we had
Take it

[Verse 2]
I wanna hold you tight
These days turn so lonely tonight
I wanna kiss your lips and get away
Sometimes lonely people change
And these days get so lonely in May
I try so hard to make what I can't seem to say
And these days get so far away
And I want what I can't say
So take it back
[Bridge]
Oh, it's gonna come a day
Oh, it's gonna come a day
So take it back
Take it back
So take it back
Take it, no, no, no

[Verse 3]
Well we're just two ships passing through the night
Two lost lonely people inside
I wanted your touch, but you can't feel my fingers; I can't say too much
So I (try) try to get away
Oh, why did I stay?
Oh, you got this little lonely-hearted man
And you cry all the time, and I know
That these days, they don't go where they go
And I can't feel my hands anymore

[Chorus]
So take it back
Take it back
What we had
Take it back
Just take it back
Take it back
What we had
Just take it, just take it
Just take it back
