"Take You Back" lyrics

Looks like history's repeating
I don't learn from my mistakes
I can't feel the water rising
A wave will always break

I want to take you back
Back to where we started before
The lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory is all that's
Ever coming back to me

Now the heart you are defending
Has guards that I can't kill
Can't you see the happy ending?
I'll race you standing still

I want to take you back
Back to where we started before
The lights had changed
Words we didn't get to say seem to hit the hardest
Now just your memory is all that's
Ever coming back to me

Did you think that you could be
So far gone that I couldn't find you?
Did you think that you could leave
Every little piece of me behind you?

I want to take you back
Back to where we started before everything changed
Words we never get to say always hit the hardest
Now just your memory is all that's
Ever coming back to me
I know you're never coming back
To me, to me
