Back Before

Didn't you say it shouldn't even matter
When we were lying on the floor
Loosen shoe strings, one step toward ever after
I hope this is what you were hoping for
On the phone, I can tell when something's wrong
Still the girl I used to know
We had something then, I want it back again, back again

We can take it back, back before the night
I could have you back before your bed time
We could try again, try to do it right
Just leave town and outrun all these streetlights
And I hope you know that I never meant to leave
And I hope that next time you're better to me

Was it not cold enough for you on the west coast
Hadn't heard from me in months
Thought I could shoulder up my pain and keep a distance
But I wasn't strong enough
On the phone, I can tell when something's wrong
Still the girl I used to know
We had something then, I want it back again, back again

We can take it back, back before the night
I could have you back before your bed time
We could try again, try to do it right
Just leave town and outrun all these streetlights
And I hope you know that I never meant to leave
And I hope that next time you're better to me
