Trying not to fall into the same old traps of our friends and parents. Understanding that which only becomes clear with time.

Lyrics

TITLE: Take it Back

VERSE:
She said "get out and take the lot
you're killing what little I've got
Hit the road, goodbye
Split the Red Sea if you can but Don't forget you are a man
Willing love to die"

She can't recall exactly when the last straw hit a level ten
Time for him to go
But she knew she was amazed
it was different than other days
And she told me so

CHORUS:
I watched them from a distance
Anger growing by the minute

VERSE:
I was afraid, I was undone
By the same cages she had sprung
It's a vicious dance
Swear you'll never bet again
Then lay it all on Red to win
In the name of romance

CHORUS:
I traveled to her homeland
And now I understand

BRIDGE:
He stands on rainy streets and marvels at the silence
A strange beautiful place he's come home to the highlands
He whispers in his native tongue a sweet refrain
"Don't I deserve this? All those nasty habits? I will make my Way."

VERSE:
Take it back, Take it back
Filling in for all I lack
Learning from the best
Change your choices like a hat
Find love with a beach rat
Different from the rest

CHROUS:
At the end of our existence
There'll be no more resistance
But in this moment sweetheart I tell you I am gonna
I'm gonna take it back
I tell you I will take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
