Neve Go Back
Big K.R.I.T. & Grillade Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you take off your shoes, then you can walk all over me
But I've been abused, caught up in the crush of the cavalry
I took for granted all of those yesterdays
I'm still enchanted, by you so I gotta say

If I could go back in time,
I would give the wide world just to change your mind
To open up your eyes

If I could go back in time

There's no music, there ain't no sunshine to play
There's no blue sky, just red sky that'll fade
Walking through this street parade
And the wind cuts through me with you raining down all around me

If I could go back in time
I would give the wide world just to change your mind
To open up your eyes
If I could go back in time
To find some reminder what you left behind
To open up your eyes
If I could go back in time, in time

If you take off your shoes, then you can walk all over me
But I've been abused, I've been abused

Line by Line Meaning

If you take off your shoes, then you can walk all over me
You have the power to hurt me because I let you

But I've been abused, caught up in the crush of the cavalry
I've been hurt before and I'm struggling to free myself from the pain

I took for granted all of those yesterdays
I didn't appreciate what I had until it was gone

I'm still enchanted, by you so I gotta say
I'm still captivated by you and I need to express it

If I could go back in time, I would give the wide world just to change your mind To open up your eyes If I could go back in time
I regret not being able to make you see things differently and would do anything to turn back time and try again

There's no music, there ain't no sunshine to play There's no blue sky, just red sky that'll fade Walking through this street parade And the wind cuts through me with you raining down all around me
Everything around me feels gray and dull without you, and I feel lost in the chaos of life without your guidance

To find some reminder what you left behind To open up your eyes If I could go back in time, in time
I wish I could make you see what you left behind and how much it meant to me, if only I had the chance to go back in time

If you take off your shoes, then you can walk all over me But I've been abused, I've been abused
I may let you hurt me, but I won't stand for being abused anymore
