Take It Back
Zoners Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw it coming and it's evil from the start
One man with the blood from one light
Something's telling me it's going away
They say this yeti is here to stay

I get to moving as I try to hold on
Turn to the ground but I knew I was wrong
We'll let you go when you wanna be free

We'll let you go when it's all up to me

Right now
Take it back
I don't want it anymore
Please take it back
I don't need it
Take it back
I don't want it anymore
Please take it back
Right now

I hear it coming and it's swimming like a shark
And then she's violent and dreaming out the dark
Something's telling me it's going away
They say this yeti is here to stay

I break the tie, guess I try to hold on
I have a grip but I know it's so strong
We'll let you go when you wanna be free
We'll let you go when it's all up to me

Right now
Take it back
I don't want it anymore
Please take it back
I don't need it
Take it back
I don't want it anymore
Please take it back
Right now

Take it back
I don't want it anymore
Please take it back
I don't need it
Take it back

I don't want it anymore
Please take it back
