Lyrics
Verse 1
I leave your text on read
Then check it again
Like a bruise I keep
To feel where you've been
The room stays warm
But I feel cold
Your jacket on the chair
Still holds your shape
Pre-Chorus
I keep coming back
I keep coming back
Same little ache
Same hollow night
Tell me why it hurts
So good, so bad
Every time I lose you
I want you back
Chorus
I want you back
I want you back
Over and over
I want you back
Still not enough
Still not enough
I keep on reaching
For what I lost
(I want you back)
(I want you back)
Verse 2
Your old text thread
Rolls like a tide
Pulls me under
Every night
I know the end
I know its shape
Still I wait
At your doorway again
Your perfume on my sleeve
Your words in my head
I chase the ghost
Of what we said
Pre-Chorus
I keep coming back
I keep coming back
Same little ache
Same hollow night
Tell me why it hurts
So good, so bad
Every time I let go
I want you back
Chorus
I want you back
I want you back
Over and over
I want you back
Still not enough
Still not enough
I keep on reaching
For what I lost
(I want you back)
(I want you back)
Bridge
Maybe I love
The almost there
The half-closed door
Your almost care
Maybe I need
The ache to stay
A wound that knows
My name each day
Chorus
I want you back
I want you back
Over and over
I want you back
Still not enough
Still not enough
I keep on reaching
For what I lost
(I want you back)
(I want you back)
