[Verse 1]
If you wanna dance, my love
My little rebel girl
Come a little closer now
And let me in your world
Sometimes, it's a lonely cause
So I just make believe
If you're gonna take a chance
Then take a chance on me
[Chorus]
D-d-do you wanna go back to where we started?
Back before we were broken-hearted?
Come my way, come, come, I gotta tell ya
The shoe fits, my little Cinderella
[Verse 2]
Every little thing you do is like a tidal wave
A fire deep within those eyes
The kill is so cliché
Dance, my little rebel girl
And show me how you move
Let me take you in my arms
And into the back room
[Chorus]
D-d-do you wanna go back to where we started?
Back before we were broken-hearted?
Come my way, come, come, I gotta tell ya
The shoe fits, my little Cinderella
D-d-do you wanna go back to where we started?
Back before we were broken-hearted?
Come my way, come, come, I gotta tell ya
The shoe fits, my little Cinderella
[Bridge]
I'm lost in nerves, I can't recover
I die inside, unlike any other
Come my way, come, my little girl
Come back
[Chorus]
D-d-do you wanna go back to where we started?
Back before we were broken-hearted?
Come my way, come, come, I gotta tell ya
The shoe fits, my little Cinderella
D-d-do you wanna go back to where we started?
Back before we were broken-hearted?
Come my way, come, come, I gotta tell ya
The shoe fits, my little Cinderella

Tom DeLonge on the inspiration behind the song:
I really wanted to channel my love of new wave music. I am a child of the ’80s, I grew up on Joy Division, New Order and The Cure. Mowing my lawn in San Diego as a seventh grader, listening to Depeche Mode records over and over again, that was my life...
