Take Me Back

[Instrumental Intro] [Emotional Verse 1] I thought I was more, but I’m just a clone, Same ol’ streets, same ol’ home. Another life, same damn script, Caught in a loop, I can’t even trip. These halls, they scream, with stories I know, Like I’ve been here before, but with nothin' to show. Walkin’ these roads, I’ve seen ‘em all, Same dead ends, same brick walls. (Ugh) [Witchy Chorus] Take me back to when it wasn’t all gray, When the sun hit different, didn’t just fade away. Hate how I’m stuck in this old-ass frame, A picture that's dyin’, but never can change. Take me back to when I wasn’t so numb, When my dreams weren’t reruns of what I’ve become. I used to believe in the warmth of the day, Now it’s just shadows that won’t go away. (Nah) [Instrumental Break] [Somber Verse 2] Used to think I could be somethin’ more, Now I’m just drownin’ in what came before. Suburban life, it’s pullin’ at my seams, Draggin’ me back to these washed-out scenes. (Man) Seen all these faces, heard all these lies, Felt the same tears behind all their eyes. I’m stuck in this spin, no way to win, Like I’ve lived this before, and I’ll do it again. (F*ck) [Angry Chorus] Take me back to when it wasn’t all gray, When the sun hit different, didn’t just fade away. (Take me, take me) Hate how I’m stuck in this old-ass frame, A picture that's dyin’, but never can change. (Take me back oh oh oh) Take me back to when I wasn’t so numb, When my dreams weren’t reruns of what I’ve become. I used to believe in the warmth of the day, Now it’s just shadows that won’t go away. (Nah) [Bridge] I’m haunted by visions, of what’s been before, Life on repeat, can’t shake it no more. Every word, every step, feels the same, Like a song on repeat, just whisperin’ my name. (Yeah) Is this all there is, this suburban dream? A loop of existence, that tears at the seams? Seen it, felt it, I know how it ends, But I’m stuck at the start where the cycle begins. [Soulful Chorus] Take me back to when it wasn’t all gray, When the sun hit different, didn’t just fade away. (Take me, take me) Hate how I’m stuck in this old-ass frame, A picture that's dyin’, but never can change. (Take me back oh oh oh) Take me back to when I wasn’t so numb, When my dreams weren’t reruns of what I’ve become. I used to believe in the warmth of the day, Now it’s just shadows that won’t go away. (Nah) [Outro] You trapped in the echo too? (Yeah) Past just swallow you? Scared that you’ll never change? Same old shadows still remain. (Woo) Take me back to when I felt somethin’ real, When the world wasn’t just somethin’ I had to conceal. (Nah) But I know it’s all just the same damn day, Livin’ a life that’s already slipped away. (Already gone) [Final Chorus] Take me back to when it wasn’t all gray, When the sun hit different, didn’t just fade away. (Take me, take me whoa oh oh oh) Hate how I’m stuck in this old-ass frame, A picture that's dyin’, but never can change. (Take me oh oh I'm Already Gone!) Take me back to when I wasn’t so numb, When my dreams weren’t reruns of what I’ve become. I used to believe in the warmth of the day, Now it’s just shadows that won’t go away. (F*CK)
