Down in the Dumps Lyrics

(acapella)
I won't let you bring me back, bring me back
No I won't let you bring me back, bring me back
(Instruments enter)
You can throw all the fits and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back down.
Way back in '95, scr*ped knees, tough love, ah yeah
Grass stains were just a sign of the times
Big kids, look at us now, too adult to say, "big whoop"
Let any old bummer get under my hide
But oooh I'm gonna take control...
I won't let you bring me back,
Bring me back down in the dumps
I won't let you bring me back,
Bring me back down in the dumps
So I'll walk that tightrope wire
But what am I really made of? yeah
Scared of heights like I'm scared of falling in love
But ooh I'm gonna take control...
I won't let you bring me back,
Bring me back down in the dumps
I won't let you bring me back,
Bring me back down in the dumps
You can throw all the fits and tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back down
So think back to '95
And reach arms length deep ah yeah
Cause they'll try to pierce your childhood hide
But ooh I'm gonna take control...
(Repeat 5x, build 1st time)
I won't let you bring me back,
Bring me back down in the dumps
I won't let you bring me back,
Bring me back down in the dumps
You can throw all the fits and tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back down
(Softer)
You can throw all the fits and tan-trums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back
