Take Me Back
Great King Rat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm down I'm gonna rise again And we can do all the things do all the things that we've been dreaming about
You said I didn't treat you bad baby I know I have But you kept it inside you know it's a lie don't have to tell you why We're gonna put it all together again
I'm gonna put it all together for you
We had our ups and downs just like everyone But now is the time to take all our worries and leave them behind We're gonna put it all together again
I'm gonna put it all together for you
Take me back where we started
A long time ago
Don't tell me you're broken hearted baby We had our good times we had our bad times too But now is the time to take all our worries and leave them behind We're gonna put it all together again
I'm gonna put it all together for you
Take me back where we started
A long time ago
Don't tell me you're broken hearted baby Take me back where we started
A long time ago
Don't tell me you're broken hearted baby I see you walking by with some other man You throw our love away far away
Take me back where we started




A long time ago
Don't tell me you're broken hearted baby Take me back where we started
