Come Back To What You Know Lyrics

Come back to what you know,
Take everything real slow
I wanna lose you but I can't Let you go.

Before you interfere
Let me make it loud and clear, that you got no more to prove.
I'm a fool.
So take it easy on yourself,
There's nothing new about regretting how you felt.
I'll never let you down,
Or ever feel the way that I've been fearing now.

Coming back to what you know won't mean a thing.
Everything that you've done keeps you from me.
Now I know that I need more time,
Come back and let me see you're right.
I'm coming back to what you know,
Cos I know that I need it now it's gone.
Now I know that I need more time,
Come back and let me see you're eye

So hang on to what you've got, keep it safe.
Hang on to what you've got,
Keep it safe from harm. You'll find.
There's nothing new that we can't leave behind.

Come back to what you know,
Take everything, real slow,
I wanna lose you but I got,
Far too high To let go
Now the demon in me knows,
What I knew so long ago

So hang on to what you've got, keep it safe.
Hang on to what you've got, keep it safe from harm.
We got time. We got time.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Indeed it is. I've never actually had a serious relationship, let alone got back with one.

But remember when, after a fight with a friend and not talking to him for months, we finally were forced into the situation where we had to go home from college together on a train.

We started talking, and eventually acknowledged the fact that we were getting on and didn't feel opressed by each other anymore, just refreshed that we could talk again.

I got home and put this on my CD player. The rest as they say, is history.
