Take Me Back
Mason Horne Lyrics

Hey momma
The singer begins talking to his mother.

I hate to wake you up tonight
The singer feels bad for bothering his mother with the news he has to share.

But I got locked up
The singer is in jail.

Cause I got into a fight
The artist was involved in a physical altercation.

And I ain’t asking
The artist is not asking for his mother to pay his bail.

For you to come and pay my bail
The singer does not want his mother to pay for his release from jail.

I wanna sit here cuz I don’t feel sorry for myself
The singer wants to stay in jail because he believes he deserves to be there and doesn't feel sorry for himself.

I don’t know how many sorry's I got left
The artist is unsure how many times he can apologize for his mistakes.

I just gotta get this off my chest
The artist needs to confess and express his feelings.

It’s weighing me down and there ain’t nobody else around
The artist is burdened by his guilt and has nobody to turn to.

I know I said it before I ain’t wasting my breath
The singer has already apologized but wants to do so again to make things right.

I’m tired of living with this regret
The artist is exhausted by the weight of his remorse.

I hope it ain’t too much to ask
The singer is hoping for forgiveness but doesn't want to come across as demanding.

But I need a little take me back
The singer is asking for forgiveness and wants to go back to how things used to be.

Take me back, take me back
The singer repeats his plea for forgiveness.

Well I had a good wife
The artist was married and had a happy life.

A nice place to lay my head
The artist had a comfortable home.

But it all changed fast
Something happened that caused the singer to lose what he had.

And I can’t take back what I said
The singer made a statement that he cannot retract.

And I couldn’t blame her
The artist understands why his wife might be angry with him.

If she didn’t give me the time a day
If his wife refused to hear him out or forgive him, the artist would not blame her.

But if she’d listen
The artist wants his wife to hear him out.

I know just what I’d say
The singer has a plan for how to make things right with his wife.

Dear Lord I know we ain’t talked in a little while
The artist begins to address God.

But I’m on my knees tonight
The singer is humbly asking for help or guidance from God.

Cause I wanna make this right
The singer wants to correct his mistakes and make amends.
