[Verse 1]
I lost the thread, I lost the map
It's not a feeling, it's a fact
I had it once, I was on track
Why won't it stay? I want it back
[Verse 2]
I see you there in that magazine
You're looking smart, you sound supreme
You got such lip, you know the street
You been around, you took some heat
[Verse 3]
You mighta killed, you might be cruel
You might be stupid but we love you
You're in the paper, you're in the air
You're in my head, you're everywhere
[Chorus]
I want it back, I want it back
I want it back, I want it back
[Verse 4]
You're so extreme, you're feast or famine
You got one mission, just like a salmon
You said in life, mistakes are many
How come you never admit to any?
[Verse 5]
Are you for real or are you bluffing?
You really get me, famous for nothing
And every morning you got a name
In a world where people all look the same
[Chorus]
I want it back, I want it back
I want it back, I want it back
[Verse 6]
I can't give love, I don't know how
I write in code so you won't know
I was on drugs, I took a nap
I didn't mean it, I want it back
[Verse 7]
I dreamt again of paradise
I floated steady, it felt so nice
To sell your soul, just think of that
I'm halfway there, I want it back
[Chorus]
I want it back, I want it back
I want it back, I want it back
I want it back, I want it back
I want it back, I want it back
