I Want It Back

I lost the thread, I lost the map
Its not a feeling, its a fact
I had it once, I was on track
Why wont it stay? I want it back
I see you there in that magazine
Youre looking smart, you sound supreme
You got such lip, you know the street
You been around, you took some heat
You mighta killed, you might be cruel
You might be stupid but we love you
Youre in the paper, youre in the air
Youre in my head, youre everywhere
I want it back
Youre so extreme, youre feast or famine
You got one mission, just like a salmon
You said in life, mistakes are many
How come you never admit to any?
Are you for real or are you bluffing?
You really get me, famous for nothing
And every morning you got a name
In a world where people all look the same
I want it back
I cant give love, I dont know how
I write in code so you wont know
I was on drugs, I took a nap
I didnt mean it, I want it back
I dreamed again of paradise
I floated steady, it felt so nice
To sell your soul, just think of that
Im halfway there, I want it back
I want it back
