Words by Trent Walker
Music by Dennis Livingston

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen your smile,
held hands with you.
It’s been too long since we walked along
the beach like we used to do.
I’ve not been goin’ out lately.
I’ve not felt very out going.
I know that I don’t know much.
But there’s one thing I’m knowing.

I Want It All Back,
what we use to have.
The joy and the laughter,
the happily ever after.
How can I be whole
when you’re my better half?
The love that you gave me,
I Want It All Back.

I stay late at work, grab a bite to eat,
then home to this empty place.
Fall asleep in my chair, because I can't bare
sleeping in bed without seeing your face.
We use to stay up and talk.
I’d tell you about my day.
Now all I have are my thoughts
Reminding me what I didn’t say.

I Want It All Back,
what we use to have.
The joy and the laughter,
the happily ever after.
How can I be whole
when you’re my better half?
The love that you gave me,
I Want It All Back.

I’m feeling like moving away,
get a house by the sea.
But the sand and the shore won’t let me ignore
mem’ries of you and me.
I could stay with my brother.
He's got an extra room.
These thoughts of life without you.
Fill me with a troubled gloom.

Is it too late?
Did I blow it for good?
Can I go back
and say what I should?

I Want It All Back,
what we use to have.
The joy and the laughter,
the happily ever after.
How can I be whole
when you’re my better half?
The love that you gave me,
I Want It All Back.
