Take Me Back
Ten Feet Deep Lyrics

The lyrics to Ten Feet Deep's song Take Me Back explore the concept of wanting to revisit a past relationship that has ended, yet not necessarily in the way one would expect. The song begins with the singer waiting on the phone for an hour, potentially for their former partner to tell them that they are finally free, and can move on from the relationship. However, once they hear those words, they realize that there will be no winner in the situation, and that they need to learn to be less like themselves in some way. This sets the stage for the rest of the song, where the singer expresses a desire to see what's left on the table, and not change history. They acknowledge that the relationship was getting thinner, but are confused as to how their partner seemingly became so carefree.

The chorus is simple, yet effective, with the plea to "take me back again" repeated multiple times. The singer isn't necessarily talking about getting back together in a traditional sense, but instead wants their former partner to allow them to explore what's left on the table between them. They acknowledge that the world is never still, and that there will always be something stirring or changing, yet they still want to be taken back.

The final verse is perhaps the most interesting, as it suggests that the singer wants to be remembered, even if it's as a ghost or a joker. They acknowledge that the other person may not want to play the same game, but they still care if they are missed. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, suggesting that the singer is still hoping to be taken back, despite the world continuing to turn.

Overall, Ten Feet Deep's Take Me Back is a poignant song about wanting to revisit a relationship, but not necessarily in the same way as before. The lyrics suggest that the singer has learned some hard lessons, but is still willing to explore what's left between them and their former partner.
