Take It Back lyrics
by Barenaked Ladies



It's hard enough to notice

Harder still to react

Just a stone's throw from the centre of our attention

We all fade to black



Save me from a villainous imagination

Deliver me from my friends

If I said something to make you mad

I will take it back



It's hard enough to stomach

But try to look away

Is this a news report or a trailer for a motion picture?

It all fades to grey



Save me from a villainous imagination

Deliver me from my friends

If I said something to make you mad

I will take it back



Long lines and warning signs

Think of all the lives saved by plastic knives

It's naive, but make-believe

We will never lose if we remove our shoes



It's hard to keep your mouth shut

Harder still to make noise

But we can't have the perfect 20/20 hindsight

That our fate enjoys



So save me from a villainous imagination

Deliver me from my friends

And if I said something to make you mad

I will take it back

I will take it back
