Sometimes all you can do is look her straight in the eye
I’m not going to fight back you must be out of your mind
Take it back won’t you take it back
Take it back won’t you take it back
Sometimes the words that we speak cut right through the bone
I’m not going to sit tight yeah you can leave on your own
Take it back won’t you take it back
Take it back won’t you take it back
See the flashes and the lights
Restless sometimes
Long lonely nights
Oh oh sometimes
Sometimes the clock moves fast right now we’re frozen in time
I try to make a move but I’m locked up tight
Take it back won’t you take it back
Take it back won’t you take it back
See the flashes and the lights
Restless sometimes
Long lonely nights
Oh oh sometimes
Take it back take it back now take it back take it back now
If it’s all you can do
Take it back won’t you take it back
Take it back won’t you take it back
See the flashes and the lights
Restless sometimes
Long lonely nights
Oh oh sometimes
I’m not going to fight back you must be out of your mind
Take it back won’t you take it back
Take it back won’t you take it back
I’m not going to sit tight yeah you can leave on your own
Take it back won’t you take it back
Take it back won’t you take it back
Restless sometimes
Long lonely nights
Oh oh sometimes
I try to make a move but I’m locked up tight
Take it back won’t you take it back
Take it back won’t you take it back
Restless sometimes
Long lonely nights
Oh oh sometimes
If it’s all you can do
Take it back won’t you take it back
Restless sometimes
Long lonely nights
Oh oh sometimes

This song started off as a demo I recorded on my computer. I showed it to the rest of the band and at the time we didn't really know what to do with it. When we were in the writing stage of our album we brought it to the table again, and arranged it with a heavy percussion groove. At that point, the song really came to life. The emotion of this one really comes out; that fleeting moment of anger we get when we feel we've been wronged.
Acoustic version of this is incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnoqBV9eCY8
