Oh, we found trouble at fifteen
Walking along the edge of the woods
Where hardly anyone can see
Oh, grass up to our knees
Fragments of skeletons in the dirt
That would make your mother scream
I remember driving half an hour in the summer heat
To your house next to nowhere with my windows rolled down
Put on my Imagine Dragons CD, the same one you've listened through
Eating lunch in your town
Spending the rest of the day playing New Super Mario on your Wii
Never completed that game
'Cause when I came back home after the world stood still
Deep down I could tell that we'd change too much to remain the same
Take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
I remember being all alone after falling in love with someone I shouldn't have
'Cause I feared what you would think
Compartmentalize and internalize and hide the resentment I felt
Allow myself to sink
So is it really a surprise when you buy into their lies
Proving my anxieties were warranted?
I hate to be the one to draw the line in the sand
But I will stand with sinful creatures before I continue calling you my friend
Would you take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back?
Could you take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back?
I can't take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
I won't get it back, get it back
Take it back, get it back
I remember all those hours spent in class with young minds
Having doctrinal discourse while God fell asleep upstairs
Learning the language of theocratic fascists
Attending home games in the evening, fighting off the urge to disappear
To the grave I swear I'll always have love for you
I just despise the way we were raised
Entitled to a lifetime of misery where we dig in our heels
Keep up appearances until the very end of days
Oh, I've been recovering from my teens
I really hope you've been doing the same
Though I can't see you past the trees
Oh, the woods just aren't for me
Don't let parasites suck your blood
My beautiful adversary
