"Want You Back?" lyrics

All my friends are getting older, I don't know what to do
If you can't beat them, join them, there's nothing left to lose
The promises we made each other back when we were young
Exploding into feathers now, dissolving on our tongue
It's like a bitter pill, oh, why won't time stand still?
Chasing a thrill, but will you take care of the bill?

And the time goes by and I realise
That I want you back, yes, I need you back
And the time goes by and I realise
That I want you back, yes, I need you back

All my friends are getting richer, I don't know what to think
Expanding and devouring, and I'm here on the brink
Creating or escaping? So say it how it is
We're fading and amazing, how did we come to this?
Oh, my radio, where did the good times go?
Just let me know and I'll put on a show

And the time goes by and I realise
That I want you back, yes, I need you back
And the time goes by and I realise
That I want you back, yes, I need you back
And the time goes by and I realise
That I want you back, yes, I need you back
And the time goes by and I realise
That I want you back, yes, I need you back

For all the wrong reasons
So who am I pleasing?
A dream to believe in
But everyone's leaving
My radio, where do the good times go?

And the time goes by and I realise
I don't want you back, I don't need you back
And the time goes by and I realise
I don't want you back, I don't need you back
And the time goes by and I realise
I don't want you back, I don't need you back
And the time goes by and I realise
I don't want you back, I don't need you back

I don't want you, I-I don't want you
I don't want you, I-I don't want you, oh
I don't want you, I-I don't want you
I don't want you, I-I don't want you, oh
I don't want you, I-I don't want you
I don't want you, I-I don't want you, oh
I don't want you, I-I don't want you
I don't want you, I-I don't want you, oh
