I Want You Back
Lyrics
All of the days that passed me by
And all of the scenes that played in my life
Memories building up selectively
All of the roads I’ve ever walked
Condense to a roller-coaster ride
Remember only all the highs and lows
Should I have noticed
Younger days runs fast
Should I have noticed
The shaping of my past
The way things are going
Shouldn’t always have to come back clear
I want you back here with me
I want to have and hold you near
I want you back here to stay
I want you so bad
Yeah
All of the love I’ve shared and lost
There’s always the one who bears the cost
And always the one who’s seeing better days
Should I have noticed
Love was passing by
Should I have noticed
The wishing well ran dry
The way things are going
It shouldn’t always have to come back clear
I want you back here with me
I want to have and hold you near
I want you back here to stay
I want you so bad
Yeah
bridge
I want you back here with me
I want to have and hold you near
I want you back here to stay
I want you so bad
Yeah
Trivia
This song was written by my dear friend Ton Jenner and originally featured as ‘I1TU Back’ on his 2005 EP ‘Back’. Because we changed the arrangement for the band, I had to write an additional verse in Ton’s writing style - which proved quite a challenge!
