Taking Back What's Mine

Colleen Dillon

Here’s a recent one written down in the islands. Trying out my new Seagull acoustic on this and a few other things… Hope you like it, even though is still rough.

VERSE 1
Sea birds flying overhead
Fishes down below
I’ve gone south to chill a spell
Its time to just let go
Pelicans still dive for fish
Clouds still bring their brew
It’s time to hit the water
And float away these blues

CHORUS
My feet are in the water
My chair is in recline
I don’t think I’ll be missing you
I’m taking back what’s mine
I’m taking back what’s mine

VERSE 2
I’m sipping cold mojitos
With strangers all around
Trying to hit the reset
On the love that came unwound
Don Henley’s in the background
His message hard but true
He’s singing about forgiveness
And that’s what I’m going to do

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Sometimes you can try your best
Your love couldn’t be more true
But you just can’t turn two to one
When that one’s not meant for you

VERSE 3
Let go of all those memories
They won’t do me any good
I tried to make you see me
But you didn’t think you could
It’s time to say hello again
To someone else that’s new
Time to take my heart back
From the one I thought I knew

REPEAT CHORUS
