Remix of Take Me Back by Braylon Browner Breakdown Lyrics by misscalamity miss-calamity.com ______________________ Take me back, take me back (Yeah, yeah) Give me your number On a losing ticket I still wanna know you Take me back, take me back Ahhh (Here I am) You’re in me Like a little fever Here I am (Yeahhh) Take me back Ahhh (Come on in) Say my name With your full chest Say it again (Yeahhh) Take me back Tell me what you wanna do Tell me what you wanna do Tell me what you wanna do I kept your number, open invitation, practiced casual conversation, every possible occasion I could accidentally call, and I told my sister you were taller, let her picture someone broader, someone good at taking orders. You were none of that at all. And your mother called me honey with her hands in batter running down the edges of a yellow bowl, and isn’t it humiliating, how I dried the same dish twice just to stay there being nice, be somebody you might like enough to ask if I was staying? Then the pear, the little knife, how you pared away the brown, how you slid the better half across the table, sat back down, I was halfway through September, I was learning how to plan, I was putting all my underwear in drawers I didn’t have. You were asking, “Want the other?” I was trying not to stutter. I was somebody’s emergency contact in my head, I could hear your mother humming, I could feel a whole life coming, you were only cutting up some fruit before it went bad. So I said I’d beat the traffic, made a little business of it, found my jacket, checked my pockets, said I’d better hit the road, then I parked behind the store, watched a man unload the corn, let your mother’s “come again” become a place I couldn’t go. But I know the turn, the cattle grate, the spoon that holds the kitchen gate, the dog that makes you stand and wait until he’s sniffed your hand, I could get there in my sleep, I could swear I left my keys, I could give you twenty reasons— I just wanna come back in. Take me back Take me back Ahhh (Here I am) You’re in me Like a little fever Here I am (Don’t leave me yet) Take me back Take me back
