Well, we're just two ships passing through the night

Two lost lonely people inside

I wanted to hold you tight or get away

Your eyes don't look close to mine

Lonely times and the people the same

You've seen what you've been

And you mean what you say, and you say what it is

Just take it back, take it back

What we had, take it

I wanna hold you tight

But these days turn so lonely tonight

I wanna kiss your lips and get away

Sometimes lonely people change

And these days get so lonely in May

I try so hard to make what I can't seem to say

And these days get so far away, and I want what I can't say

So take it back

Oh, it's gonna come a day

Oh, it's gonna come a day

So take it back, take it back

So take it back, take it, no, no, no

Well, we're just two ships passing through the night

Two lost lonely people inside

I wanted your touch, but you can't feel my fingers; I can't say too much

So I try, try to get away, oh Lord, why did I stay?

Oh, you got this little lonely-hearted man

And you cry all the time, and I know

That these days, they don't go where they go

And I can't feel my hands anymore

So take it back, take it back

What we had, take it back

Just take it back, take it back

What we had, just take it

Just take it, just take it back
