[Verse 1]
The city’s quiet but my chest still pounds
Echoes of us in the sleepless sound
Your laughter fades, my hands still shake
Can’t outrun the hearts we break
You said love was meant to fight
Now I’m haunted by the things I write
If I could turn back, I’d restart
Rebuild the wreckage, heal the scars
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a change of heart
Don’t wanna fall apart
Every beat pulls me to you
And I know we can make it through
[Chorus (drop 1)]
Take me back to the start
I had a change of heart
I know we can make it better than it ever was
I know we can make it better
I only wish for you to be by my side
I only wish to say you’re mine
Take me back, take me back to the start
(Drop hits — heavy bass, distorted guitars, shimmering synth arps)
Woah-oh, take me back — yeah, take me back
[Verse 2]
The smoke still hangs from the fire we lit
I taste the past but I won’t quit
Your name’s a storm in my bloodstream
Still chasing ghosts of our lost dream
Every tear’s a flash of light
I’ll fight the dark if it makes it right
This love’s a spark that won’t decay
I’d burn again to see your face
[Pre-Chorus]
I had a change of heart
I won’t let us drift apart
All the pain can be reborn
Into something strong and warm
[Chorus (drop 2)]
Take me back to the start
I had a change of heart
I know we can make it better than it ever was
I know we can make it better
I only wish for you to be by my side
I only wish to say you’re mine
Take me back, take me back to the start
(Drop 2 — guitar + synth lead melody, layered vocals shouting “better / better / better!”)
[Bridge (breakdown)]
Let the static fade to blue
All I see, all I feel is you
Raise me up, don’t let me drown
In your light, I’m homebound
(soft vocal build → kick + snare ramp)
[Final Chorus + Outro (drop 3)]
Take me back to the start
I had a change of heart
I know we can make it better than it ever was
I know we can make it better
I only wish for you to be by my side
I only wish to say you’re mine
Take me back, take me back to the start
(Final drop — soaring guitars, wide synths, crowd-chant vocals)
Take me back… take me back… to the start (yeah!)
