Take It Back
Redemption Through Self-Discovery: Take It Back
Lyrics
Take back every word you said
Request to retract every spoken word
Even the thoughts that were in your head
Including thoughts previously kept internal
Don't say goodnight
Request not to bid farewell
Don't leave me tonight
Desire for the person not to leave for the night
Please can you take it back
Plea to take back all actions or words
Can I drive you back home
Proposal to drive the person back home
Eyes on the road not looking at my phone
Focused driving without distraction
Future memories, they fit you to a T
Reflection on shared future memories
Please can we go back home
Request to return home together
I would never try to fool ya
Declaration of honesty and sincerity
Seems you were only trying to fool yourself
Observation that the other person deceived themselves
With open arms
Expressing openness and acceptance
But I padlocked my heart
Personal decision to guard against emotional pain
I hope you know you helped me learn to love myself
Acknowledgment of the other person's positive influence
I don't where we'll land
Uncertainty about the future outcome
If we keep worrying where other people stand
Advising against worrying about others' opinions
I'll shoot my shot
Expressing willingness to take a chance
Hope I'm not an afterthought
Concern about being forgotten
Just know I'll always try to understand
Commitment to understanding the other person
I would never try to hurt you
Reassurance of no intention to cause harm
Seems when I do I always hurt myself
Acknowledgment of self-inflicted pain
I'll try to mend
Commitment to repairing and resolving issues
And tie up loose ends
Intent to address and conclude unfinished matters
I'll put all those worries on the shelf
Decision to set aside worries
I would never try to fool ya
Reiteration of honesty and sincerity
Seems I was only trying to fool myself
Recognition of self-deception
With open arms
Expressing openness and acceptance (repeated)
But I padlocked my heart
Renewed commitment to guard emotions (repeated)
I hope you know you helped me learn to love myself
Acknowledgment of positive impact on self (repeated)
With open arms
Expressing openness and acceptance (repeated)
You unlocked my heart
Noting the opening of the heart by the other person
I hope you know you helped me learn to love myself
Acknowledgment of the role in learning self-love
