Lyrics

I'd Take You Back

Almost a year since we called it quits
A lot of river under the bridge for the both of us
I'm sleeping better, taking care of myself
And it ain't heaven but it ain't hell, the way it was
Still there are times if you were to ask
I can't lie, I'd take you back

Oh, I'd take you back to those cold winter nights sippin' peppermint socks
Warmin' our toes in those thick woolen socks in front of a cracklin' fire
Yeah, I'd take you back to that one room cabin and two feet of snow
And those three perfect days 'fore they cleared the road when love was all we had
Don't you know if I only could, I'd you back

I had a feeling I'd run into you
Rehearsed exactly what I'd say to prove I'm over us
But walkin' out of Sears last night
That long blonde hair caught my and I still felt the rush
She turned around and it wasn't you
But in that instant I faced the truth

Oh, I'd take you back to that old wooden sled, your arms around me
Laughin' out loud and pickin' up speed down a hill that was ours alone
Yeah, I'd take you back to that one room cabin and two feet of snow
And those three perfect days 'fore they cleared the road when love was all we had
Don't you know if I only could, I'd you back

Wish we could've saved those amazing days when love couldn't be better
Like a snow globe that seems to hold the magic of forever

Oh I'd take you back to Eskimo kisses in that old sleigh bed
Pullin' the covers up over our heads and feeling the morning sun
Yeah, I'd take you back to that one room cabin and two feet of snow
And those three perfect days 'fore they cleared the road when love was all we had
Don't you know if I only could, I'd you back
Oh I'd I take you back
Yeah, I'd take you back
