I'd be glad to give back
All I have ever owned
If I could have seen into the future
If only I had known
Behind these walls of separation
I have learned to live alone
But I want you, I want you back
I could clearly see the letters
But not the writing on the wall
About what had come between us
How the mighty fall
And one thing keeps repeating
Is the only thing I know?
That I want you, I want you back
Yeah I want you, I want you back
Well I have taken that number
How can I have been so blind
Now I am coming up from under
It's you I have to find
My back is all up against the ropes
Only one way I can go
And I want you
How far is the distance
Have you gone beyond the sign
Have you passed the point of no return
Have you crossed that line
And if it burns me like a fever
I've got to tell you one last time
That I want you, I want you back
Yeah I want you, I want you back [x3]
