Take It Back
It's hard enough to notice
Harder still to react
Just a stone's throw from the center of our attention
We all fade to black
Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
It's hard enough to stomach
But try to look away
Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture?
It all fades to gray
Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
Long lines and warning signs
Think of all the lives saved by plastic knives
It's naive, but make believe
We will never lose if we remove our shoes
It's hard to keep your mouth shut
Harder still to make noise
But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight
That our fate enjoys
Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
I will take it back
