[Verse 1]

It's been a while since the two of us talked

About a week since the day that you walked

Knowing things would never be the same

With your empty heart and mine full of pain

So explain to me how it came to this

Take it back to the night we kissed

It was Dublin city on a Friday night

With vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night

[Pre-Chorus]

We were sitting with our backs against the world

Saying things that we thought but never heard

Oh, who would ever thought we would end up like this?

Where everything we talked about is gone

And the only chance we have of moving on

Is try to take it back before it all went wrong

[Chorus]

Before the worst, before we mend

Before our hearts decide it's time to love again

Before too late, before too long

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong

[Verse 2]

There was a time when we stayed up all night

Best friends, yeah, talking till the daylight

We took the joys alongside the pain

With not much to lose but so much to gain

Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss

Set you adrift on a memory bliss

It was Grafton Street on a rainy night

I was down on one knee and you were mine for life

[Pre-Chorus]

We were thinking we would never be apart

With your name tattooed across my heart

Oh, who would ever thought we would end up like this?

Where everything we talked about is gone

And the only chance we have of moving on

Is try to take it back before it all went wrong

[Chorus]

Before the worst, before we mend

Before our hearts decide it's time to love again

Before too late, before too long

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong

[Bridge]

If the clouds don't clear

We'll rise above it

We'll rise above it (whoa)

Heaven's gate is so near

Come walk with me through

Just like we used to

Just like we used to

Yeah

Yeah

Let's take it back before it all went wrong

[Chorus]

Before the worst (before)

Before we mend (before)

Before our hearts decide it's time to love again

Before too late

Before too long

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong (all wrong)

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong
