Back To The Start Lyrics
We were just kids, but we were the rulers.
We had the world, but no, we never had enough.
Your head on my chest. I watched you sleeping.
Stayed awake and wondered what you're dreaming of.
Where did you go? I gave you my heart.
I gave you a note, you tore it apart.
Take your time, wait it out 'til this is over
Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart.
To let it wash away, take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned like we were falling stars
Tell me how long it takes to take it back, take it back, back to the start, back to the start.
I miss your touch, I miss the late nights
I wish you never would have gotten on that plane
Did you get scared?
Or did I love you too much?
I guess that's why they call it a runway.
Where did you go? I gave you my heart.
I'm not myself when we're apart.
Take your time, wait it out 'til this is over.
Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart.
To let it wash away, take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned like we were falling stars
Tell me how long it takes to take it back, take it back, back to the start, back to the start.
Wherever you go, whatever you chase, no one could ever take your place
I won't let you go, don't be the one that got away.
Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart (who gave you an empty heart?)
To let it wash away, take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned like we were falling stars
Tell me how long it takes to take it back, take it back, back to the start, back to the start.
We had the world, but no, we never had enough.
Your head on my chest. I watched you sleeping.
Stayed awake and wondered what you're dreaming of.
Where did you go? I gave you my heart.
I gave you a note, you tore it apart.
Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart.
To let it wash away, take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned like we were falling stars
Tell me how long it takes to take it back, take it back, back to the start, back to the start.
I wish you never would have gotten on that plane
Did you get scared?
Or did I love you too much?
I guess that's why they call it a runway.
Where did you go? I gave you my heart.
I'm not myself when we're apart.
Tell me how long it takes to fill an empty heart.
To let it wash away, take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned like we were falling stars
Wherever you go, whatever you chase, no one could ever take your place
I won't let you go, don't be the one that got away.
To let it wash away, take it back, take it back
Back to the way we burned like we were falling stars
Tell me how long it takes to take it back, take it back, back to the start, back to the start.
