(Take it back, take it back 'cause I need you right now)
(Take it back, take it back, please don't mean it right now)
I'm passing Exit 17
Trying to keep it together, but honest I don't know how
Your last words ringing in my head
Louder than 86 miles an hour, windows rolled down
I know you said it's wrong and that it's too far gone
But God, I wish you would just
Take it back, take it back 'cause I need you right now
Take it back, take it back, please don't mean it right now
If there's any part of you that wants to work it all out
Say the word, and I'll turn the car around
Turn the car, turn the car
Say the word, and I'll turn the car around
Turn the car, turn the car
Say the word, and I'll turn the car around
Call it bad luck, bad timing, but we both know
We can never say that what we felt wasn't real
Pick up your phone call mine, I'm already
Just looking for a reason with my hands on the wheel
I know you said it's wrong and that it's too far gone
But God, I wish you would just
Take it back, take it back 'cause I need you right now
Take it back, take it back, please don't mean it right now
If there's any part of you that wants to work it all out
Say the word, and I'll turn the car around
Turn the car, turn the car
Say the word, and I'll turn the car around
Turn the car, turn the car
Say the word, and I'll turn the car around
Take it back, take it back
(Turn the car)
Take it back, take it back
(Turn the car)
If there's any part of you that wants to work it all out
Say the word, and I'll turn the car around
