I won't let you bring me back, bring me back
No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back
You can throw all the fits and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down
[Verse 1]
Way back in '95: scraped kness, tough love
Grass stains we just a sign of the times
Big kids look at us now, too adult to say big whoop
Letting any old bummer get under my hide
But ooh, I'm gonna take control
[Chorus 1/2]
I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps
No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps
[Verse 2]
So I'll walk that tightrope wire
But what am I really made of?
Scared of heights like I'm scared of falling in love
But ooh, I'm gonna take control
[Chorus]
I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps
No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps
You can throw all the fits and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down
[Verse 3]
So think back to '95
And reach arms-length deep
Cause they'll try to pierce your childhood hide
But ooh, I'm gonna take control
[Chorus]
