I wandered away like a blind, foolish child,
Chased every bright falling star,
Deaf to your words, I was willful and wild,
Every rocky road just left me scarred,
Now I know the treasure that you are.

Take me back, take me back,
I've come such a long way just to ask,
Take me back, take me back,
And from this day I will stay - take me back.

Yeah.

When I remember the good times I had they don't seem so good anymore,
Even the laughter was hollow and sad,
I've never felt so lost inside before; standing like an orphan at your door.

Take me back, take me back, (take me back, take me back)
I've come such a long way just to ask,
Take me back, take me back, (take me back, take me back)
And from this day I will stay - take me back.

All the days I threw away, I regret each one: the careless things I did, the things I left undone,
And I know that even though I can't go back again, if you'll take my hand, I'll follow 'til the end.

Take me back, take me back,
I've come such a long way just to ask,
Take me back, take me back,
And from this day I will stay - take me back,
And from this day, home to stay - take me back.
