"Take It Back" lyrics - WISHBONE ASH

Early on you were a dreamer
First class non-believer
In all the things they said that
You could never do

Deep down you did the digging
Tied tight all the rigging
Your ship was set to sail
Your seven fantasies

Later on you were a lover
First kiss with another
Chose who you want to be with
Bells in the chapel rung

Soon you got some kids to call your own
Work your fingers to the bone
Dedicate yourself to family
Life runs ahead of you

[Chorus:]
Take it back
Take it back
Take your life back

Now you've gone and lost direction
Lost love of detection
Some things are gonna fall apart
Hold your head up again

She may have gone and left you
New job could have killed you
Turns out you act your age now
Try messing up again

[Chorus:]
Take it back
Take it back
Take your life back

Take it back
Take it back
Claim your life and take it back

Take it back
Take it back
Claim your life and take it back
