Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd capture that moment
You would be right here next to me
If I had the secret
The secret to your love
I would pledge a treasure beneath my heart
Lock it all up
And throw away the key
'Cause I was just a fool
A fool for you
When I loved you so childishly
And I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all
You never miss a good thing till it's gone,
I want it all, now I want it all back
If there is a green light
And it starts to turn yellow
Pedal to the floor
'Cause I know your heart is turning red
If I had the minutes, I would turn 'em into hours
And make love to your mind and not your body instead
I was just a fool, a fool for you
That didn't know what I had until I lost you
And every single moment that you're not here
You said the evident to me that everything just seems so clear
And I want it all back
(I gotta have it all)
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
I want it all, now I want it all back
Now everything isn't everything
If everything, everything isn't with you
And I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all back
I want it all back
I want it all, I want it all, girl, I want it all
You never miss a good thing 'til it's gone
Want it all, now I want it all back
Now I want it all back, now I want it all back
Now I want it all back
In the song "All Back," Chris Brown reminisces about a past relationship and expresses his desire to have it all back. The first stanza reveals that Brown is regretful about not cherishing their relationship when he had the chance, and if given another opportunity, he would lock it all up and never let go. The second stanza talks about how he would do anything to fix their relationship, even if it meant making love to her mind rather than her body. The chorus suggests that Brown realized what he had only after he lost it, and he wants it all back.
The lyrics show a sense of longing and desperation for a second chance at love. They depict that Brown truly regrets losing his love and missing out on having her by his side. The overall message of the song is that you never truly appreciate something until it is gone, and the regret of not valuing it when you had it is almost unbearable.

If I had the moment
If I could go back to a specific moment in time
I'd capture that moment
I would hold onto that moment tightly to keep it from slipping away
You would be right here next to me
You would still be with me, by my side
If I had the secret
If I knew the key to what makes you love someone deeply
The secret to your love
Knowing the special advice that makes you give your heart to someone
I would pledge a treasure beneath my heart
I would hold onto this knowledge closely and not share it with anyone
Lock it all up
I'd keep this knowledge under lock and key
And throw away the key
I would try so hard to never lose this treasure
I would never give it up
I don't want to lose this valuable piece of wisdom
'Cause I was just a fool
I made mistakes in the past
A fool for you
I made those mistakes because of my love for you
When I loved you so childishly
When I loved you immaturely, like a child would
And I want it all back
I want everything we had back
You never miss a good thing till it's gone,
You only realize how good something is when you lose it
I want it all, now I want it all back
I really wish for all aspects of our relationship to be restored
If there is a green light
When there is a chance for us
And it starts to turn yellow
When that chance is rapidly disappearing
Pedal to the floor
I'll do everything possible to make sure we don't lose that chance
'Cause I know your heart is turning red
I know that you are starting to lose your interest in us
If I had the minutes
If I could control time
I would turn 'em into hours
I would make every moment we spend together last a lot longer
And make love to your mind and not your body instead
I'd focus on understanding your thoughts, feelings and personality better, rather than just physical attraction
That didn't know what I had until I lost you
I didn't realize how much you meant to me until you were gone
And every single moment that you're not here
Every second spent apart from you
You said the evident to me that everything just seems so clear
Shows me the significance of the void in my life without you
Now everything isn't everything
My life is incomplete without you
If everything, everything isn't with you
Nothing can ever replace having you in my life
