Take Me Back
Brick & Lace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, baby yeah, ladadada

Take me back to the place where we were free
Didn't have a care in the world you see
All that really matter was
You and me

Time stood still the world was frozen

A pretty pictured love was sculpted
Best friends and lovers till eternity
You and me

But now the seasons changing
Every thing's been rearranging and
Now your kisses seem so cold
To busy to do the things we use to
It ain't the same anymore

Take me back (oh)
Take me back to where it was good (oh)
Take me back to where love was new (oh oh)
Take me back (oh)
'Cause I know things haven't been the way that they should (oh)
But I know if you try than baby you could (oh oh)
Take me back

Let's relive this special moment
The moments that we took for granted
They way you held my face in your hands (oh)
Caught in amazing love so true
Never thought that I'd loose you
Baby what am I to do (doo)

But now the seasons changing
Everythings been rearranging and
Your touches seem so cold
To busy to do the things we use to
It ain't the same anymore

Take me back (oh)
Take me back to where it was good (oh)
Take me back to where love was new (oh oh)
Take me back (oh)
'Cause I know things haven't been the way that they should (oh)
But I know if you try than baby you could (oh oh)
Take me back (take me back, yeah)

Baby we can't deny
What we had it was right for so long
(Where did we go wrong)
So let's try to replay all these magical days
'Cause we've been trough the grey cancel storm clouds away

Take me back (oh)
Take me back to where it was good (oh)
Take me back to where love was new (oh oh)
Take me back (oh)
'Cause I know things haven't been the way that they should (oh)
But I know if you try than baby you could (oh oh)
Take me back (Take me back baby)

Take me back (oh)
Take me back to where it was good (oh)

Take me back to where love was new (oh oh)
Take me back

Line by Line Meaning

Take me back to the place where we were free
Bring me back to a time where we felt unburdened and at ease

Didn't have a care in the world you see
We were carefree, without worries or stress

All that really matter was You and me
Our relationship was the most important thing in our lives

Time stood still the world was frozen
We were so engrossed in each other that the world around us seemed to pause

A pretty pictured love was sculpted
Our love was beautiful and perfect

Best friends and lovers till eternity
Not only were we in love, but we were also each other's best friend, and we planned to be together forever

But now the seasons changing
Things have changed and the relationship is different now

Every thing's been rearranging and
Our lives have changed, and so has our relationship

Now your kisses seem so cold
Your affection feels distant and unemotional

To busy to do the things we use to
We're too caught up with our own lives to make time for each other like we used to

It ain't the same anymore
Our relationship is not what it once was

Let's relive this special moment
Let's go back and experience the feelings we had before

The moments that we took for granted
We didn't appreciate what we had at the time

They way you held my face in your hands (oh)
The way you held me made me feel cherished and loved

Caught in amazing love so true
We were completely infatuated with each other, and our love felt pure and true

Never thought that I'd loose you
I never imagined we could lose each other

Baby what am I to do (doo)
I'm lost and unsure of what to do about our relationship problems

Baby we can't deny What we had it was right for so long (Where did we go wrong)
We can't deny that what we had was great, but we need to figure out where things went wrong

So let's try to replay all these magical days
Let's go back and try to recapture the feelings we had before

'Cause we've been trough the grey cancel storm clouds away
We've been through tough times together, but we can work through it and overcome the difficulties

Take me back
I want to go back to the way things were before

Take me back to where it was good
Bring me back to a time when our relationship was strong and happy

Take me back to where love was new (oh oh)
Back to when our love felt new and exciting

'Cause I know things haven't been the way that they should (oh)
I recognize that our relationship is not as good as it could be

But I know if you try than baby you could (oh oh)
I believe if we work at it, we can make things better between us

Take me back (Take me back baby)
I want to go back to the way things were before, and I hope you do too
