Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right
Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right
Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right (right, right, right)
Right, right, right, right
Right, right, right, right

No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
When you know that you always do it right
Been waiting on that sunshine, boy
I think I need that back
Can't do it like that
No one else gonna get it like that
So I argue, you yell
Would you take me back?
Who cares when it feels like crack?
