It's hard enough to notice
|
Harder still to react
|
Just a stone's throw from the centre 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 grey
|
|
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
|
|
So save me from a villainous imagination
|
Deliver me from my friends
|
And if I said something to make you mad
|
I will take it back
|
I will take it back
|

Take It Back
