Verse 1:
You left it, I sent it
I want it back
You left it, I sent it
I want it back
Bridge 1:
If I had you here, I'd clip your wings
Snap you up and leave you sprawling on my pin
This plan of mine is oh so very lame
Can't you see the grass is greener where it rains
Chorus:
You left, I died,
I went and you cried
You came, I think
But I never really know
I've served my time
I've watched you climb
The wrong incline
But what do I know.
Verse 2:
Accept it, Don't let it
Turn the screw
Accept it, And let it
Scream back at you
Bridge 2:
Now this applies both equally to you and I
The only thing that we share Is the same sky
These empty metaphors, they're all in vain
Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains
Chorus 1:
You left, I died,
I went and you cried
You came, I think
But I never really know
I've served my time
I've watched you climb
The wrong incline
But what do I know.

Verse 3:
In the garden Snake was a charmin'
And Eve said let's give it a try
Now lead us not into temptation
But no matter how hard I try
When in the garden and Snake is a charmin'
And Eve said let's give it a try
Eve is the apple of my eye
Eve is the apple of my eye
Eve is the apple of my eye
Chorus 2:
And I lie behind you
And a cradle you in the palm of me
And I pat your hair down
I think will we sink or swim?
'Cause we could do either on a whim
You left it, I sent it
I want it back
You left it, I sent it
I want it back
