I Want You Back
A.S. Band Lyrics

We always want
As humans, we tend to desire things we can't have.

What we can’t have
We crave for things we are not capable of possessing.

It’s written in our DNA
It's an inherent trait we possess due to our genetics.

Had this girl said she wanted
If I had known this girl desired me in that way

To be my everything
If she had expressed her desire to be in a serious relationship with me.

But you know
However,

I pushed her away
I rejected her or didn't respond positively to her advances.

A few months later
After some time had passed

She’s all hitched up
She's now in a committed relationship.

She’s got a boyfriend
She's currently dating someone else.

Says she loves him a lot
She has strong feelings for her current boyfriend.

Well you know
As you may know,

Here I am just,
I am now stuck in a place where

Wishing I could
Desperately desiring to

Turn back the clock
Go back in time and change my decisions

Cause I want you back
Expressing my longing to be with her again.

In my arms, in my heart driving round in the front seat of my car
Wanting to spend time with her intimately and create memories together.

I want to be the guy, you tell your friends he's the one
Wanting to have a significant enough impact on her that she feels the urge to report his character to her acquaintances.

In my bed, to myself, more than friends
Hoping to take the relationship to the next level where it becomes physical.

In my top ten favourites on my phone, be the first girl I call when I’m home alone
Desiring to have her as an important contact and to maintain regular communication with her.

Yeah

But it’s too late
However, the opportunity has passed me by already.

I missed my chance
I failed to take advantage of the opportunity that was presented to me.

Yea she’s the Mary Jane and we’ve had our last dance
She's the one who got away.

Guess it’s a lesson learned
This experience is something to learn from.

Oh, when you find something good you’d better hold on tight
This experience has taught me that when you find something valuable, it's essential to hold on to it tightly.

Make it last for the night, make it last for the rest of your life
It's important to take the necessary steps to make any worthwhile affair last.

Or you’ll be sitting here just like me
Otherwise, you'll end up like me - regretting lost opportunities.

I lose myself in a dream
I find myself thinking about her often.

She calls me up says there’s something that I gotta say
She contacts me and informs me that there's something she needs to tell me.

Before it’s too late
Before it becomes too late or too difficult to rectify the mistake.

I want you back
Reiterating that I long to have her back in my life.

In my arms, in my heart driving round in the front seat of your car
Desiring to spend quality time with her driving around and feeling loved.

I want to be the girl, You tell your friends she’s the one
Longing to be the significant other that is reported as the one by the people in her life.

Ou I want you back
Expressing repeated desire to have her back in my life.
