Make It Right
Mariah McManus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My first steps in your direction
Where days were filled with love
in a town where stars are lonely
we were always following the sun
but if you thought leaving me behind was for the best
then why do i feel like this?
Take me back to the first time i ever saw you smile
Take me back to the first time i ever crossed you mind
take me back to the first time you kissed me, under southern moonlit skies
I'd do anyhting to go back to that time
and make right
make right

Some days i wish i never met you
that all of the memories were gone
Cause you and I were never happy
It never lasted long

But if you thought leaving me behind was for the best
Then why do i feel like this
Take me back to the first time i ever saw you smile
Take me back to the first time i ever crossed your ming
take me back to the first time you kissed me
under southern moonlit skies
I'd do anyhting to go back to that time
and make right
make right

Day we were...
Till the sun burned down
Noone could stop us then
No one could stop us now

days we were...
until the sun burned down
No one could stop us then
And I OCUldn't stop you now

Take me back to the first time I ever saw you smile
Take me back to the first time I ever crossed your mind
Take me back to the first time you kissed me under southern moonlit skies
I'd do anything to go back to that time
and make right

Days we were...
Till the sun burned down
Noone could stop us then
And I couldn't stop you now
