Need You Back

I'm holding the tickets from the last day
And I shouldn't, I promised I wouldn't regret
We were stretching, nothing in the long run
But I wasn't miserable, still looking up
I'm reading the letters written back then
A list of promises I still want to maintain
An old title for a catalog of love songs
Eternally a draft of finding where I belonged

And I may not want you like that
But I need you back, I need you back
Maybe that was as close as we were supposed to get
And I won't regret, but I won't forget
Maybe we were too close, I just want a little bit of that
I need you back, I need you back

One step back, still watching closely
Seeing my influence slowly turning into your past
As you look forward, I'm not there anymore
And it's no longer any of my business
I took a faster trip to recovery, I know
It's healthier we both learn to let go
But I can't help it

And I may not want you like that
But I need you back, I need you back
Maybe that was as close as we were supposed to get
And I won't regret, but I won't forget
Maybe we were too close, I just want a little bit of that
I need you back, I need you back

And if I had the choice, I wouldn't undo it
I can't neglect all the things I've learned
We were both committed from start to finish
Now I'm just waiting for a new beginning
I'll be waiting, and any time, any minute
You'll take your time, but you'll come back

I may not want you like that
But I need you back, I need you back
Maybe that was as close as we were supposed to get
But I need you back, I need you back
And I don't want to regret
I don't want to forget
I may not love you like that
Maybe we were too close, I just want a little bit of that
I need you back, I need you back
