[Verse 1] Take me back, I wont do it again Nothing has an end, Parmenides once said So forget what was once fallible and written in lead Forget me not if today is all we have left Tomorrow is a magicians best trick Put your yesterdays back into that pretty head [Verse 2] Take me back, teach me how to change You cant mold me, you cant shape me You cant fit me into your little frame Know your soil before it rains I suppose no one is really to blame For this endless and recycled shame [Verse 3] Take me back, but keep your expectations low Dont you give to receive Itll leave you ample with greed And when you look at your reflection dont you try to find me Judge not the colors but the whole painting Dont go searching for the bad that could be Cause you will find it comes subconsciously [Verse 4] Take me back, but take me how I come My slate it aint clean, but I will not forget where I came from So dont tell me how to do things when thats always how theyve been done Ive always taken the road less traveled on So you can meet me here when youve moved on But you cant have me how you want The truth is you cant have me at all
