Babybird - Take Me Back lyrics

Found you on the roadside Little cuts and bruises underneath your chin You begged them to bury you before your life sets in She sees me in the garden Pulling petals off the flowers She closes all the windows Shuts down on the bed and shivers Take her back in time to the place before it happened Before it happened Take me back in time to the place where it happened Where it happened He scratched your eyes, your pretty eyes With a handful of rusty nails And then he pushed you into a ditch With the slugs and the snails I'm so angry she's not angry Every second of every hour She shuts the door and slides the latch in Tries to wash him off in the shower Take her back in time to the place before it happened Before it happened Take me back to the roadside where, where it happened Before it happened Where it happened He lay there for three days Your heart held in his knuckles He tried to pull out your hair Rip the scalp with his buckle Look at you now You're like no girl I know I would have stabbed him (who would have stopped me?) I would have stabbed him (you would have stopped me) Dead
