Take Me Back
Jesse & Ruby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's been trying to get it back, to no avail
Ever since as we've been bound by ignorance
And we've selfishly putting our lives up for sale
And now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do so I try
No, I don't know what to do
Oh, why?
But take me back to yesterday
Take me back, come what may
Take me back to yesterday
To where it all began
Ever since we've been bound by ignorance
I've bent the rules and we became this way
Take me back to yesterday
Leave the vampires and the werewolves at bay
Now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do so I try
No, I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do so I ask, why?
Oh, why?
Take me back to yesterday
Take me back, come what may
Take me back to yesterday
To where it all began
Woah
Take me back
To where it all began

Ever since the world lost her innocence
Since the world has become more corrupted, she has been trying to reclaim a sense of purity
She's been trying to get it back, to no avail
However, despite her efforts, she has been unsuccessful
Ever since as we've been bound by ignorance
For as long as we have been ignorant to the consequences of our actions
And we've selfishly putting our lives up for sale
We have recklessly offered up our own lives for self-gain
And now I don't know what to do
I have reached a point of uncertainty
I don't know what to do so I try
Despite my uncertainty, I continue to attempt to figure it out
No, I don't know what to do
I am still at a loss for what to do
I don't know what to do so I'll ask, why?
I turn to questioning my situation and seeking answers
Take me back to yesterday
I yearn to return to happier, simpler times
Take me back, come what may
Whatever it may take, I want to go back
To where it all began
To the starting point of it all
I've bent the rules and we became this way
I have violated the rules and ultimately led us to our current state
Leave the vampires and the werewolves at bay
Let go of the negative influences that have contributed to our troubles
Woah
