Can We Go Back
Arthur Shastra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't mind the friend zone my broken heart you carry on hoping time had forgot
I won't mind the friend zone my broken heart you carry on hoping time had forgot
can we go back to when things were simple can we pawn back to when we were ushered
can we go back to when things were simple can we pawn back to when we were ushered
we are wrecking to pieces we don't know how to put together we are falling to pieces I don't know we can get it
can we go back to when things were simple can we pawn back to when we were ushered
can we go back to when things were simple can we pawn back to when we were ushered
you will be so sorry some day you want to be with me one day
you will be so sorry some day you want to be with me one day
you will be so sorry some day you want to be with me one day
can we go back to when things were simple can we pawn
back to when we were ushered




can we go back to when things were simple can we pawn back to when we were ushered
next time that you do anything that were simple let's go back to you and me
