Take Me Back - Babybird, Stephen Jones, Luke Scott

Found you on the roadside

Little cuts and bruises underneath your chin

You begged them to bury you before your life sets in

She sees me in the garden

Pulling petals off the flowers

She closes all the windows

Shuts down on the bed and shivers

Take her back in time to the place before it happened

Before it happened

Take me back in time to the place where it happened

Where it happened

He scratched your eyes, your pretty eyes

With a handful of rusty nails

And then he pushed you into a ditch

With the slugs and the snails

I’m so angry she’s not angry

Every second of every hour

She shuts the door and slides the latch in

Tries to wash him off in the shower

Take her back in time to the place before it happened

Before it happened

Take me back to the roadside where, where it happened

Before it happened

Where it happened

He lay there for three days

Your heart held in his knuckles

He tried to pull out your hair

Rip the scalp with his buckle

Look at you now

You’re like no girl I know

I would have stabbed him

(who would have stopped me?)

I would have stabbed him

(you would have stopped me)

Dead
