Back For Good, by Take That

Haven't been able to write up something concrete lately.

Not because I am starting to get numb and stop having feelings and thoughts, but I was preoccupied.

Then I hear this song, and it brings me back to a simpler time, when I was young and naive, and listen to love songs just because they sound good and the stories they convey says something abstract yet beautiful to me.

Emotions are usually pure, and relationships are usually uncomplicated. Songs does not tell you the practical barriers in relationships and they simply tell you everything will be fine as long as you have the heart to deal with your relationship.... easy to say...

But the songs are still nevertheless priceless and invaluable.

I heard this song when I was 12, saw those guys on MTV being showered stupid by rain. I think BackstreetBoys follow suit for their I will never break your heart MTV, and did very stupid poses in there too (I realized how stupid they were a very good 7 years after the song was released and my housemate was still screaming over those videos).

I like the guitar in the prelude. I like it when they the first line pops out of the background music. I like it when he says it is good time to give up. The sight of a cup of lipstick mark. So how long does a person out of your life linger? Do you hear the man's regret when he says he does not mean the stuff he said? Seeing the one you love excel after being free?

The man is heartbroken...

Let's hear it!

I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

Unaware but underlined I figured out the story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room inside for me

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

And we'll be together, this time is forever
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again
